Pilot's 85th anniversary commemorative model.

In 680, Emperor Temmu (680-680) prayed for the recovery of his empress (later Emperor Jito) from illness, and requested the construction of a temple whose principal object of worship was Yakushi Nyorai Buddha.
Twelve years after its completion, the capital was moved to Heijo-kyo (present-day Nara City) in 710, and Yakushi-ji Temple was moved there in 718 at the same time.
Most of the buildings were lost in the great fire of 973 and the military fire of 1528, but the East Pagoda (National Treasure), completed in 730, was spared,
The main statue of Yakushi Nyorai (the Medicine Buddha) and the two side chapters of Kondo were saved from Kasai, and their magnificent appearance has been handed down to this day.
It is the only existing structure from that time, and is a gem with a beautiful scroll pattern featuring the motif of water smoke from the East Pagoda, which is described as "frozen music".
The pagoda is a three-story pagoda that appears at first glance to be a six-story pagoda because it has a costume floor.
The water spray on the pagoda is made up of four openwork copper plates, each of which depicts a celestial cloud of feathers fluttering in a water spray-like flying cloud.
The four panels each have three heavenly beings (flying heavenly beings, Hiten) with wings fluttering above and below them.
The topmost flying heavenly being holds what looks like a lotus flower bud in both hands as an offering.
The lower flying heavenly figure kneels on one knee and plays a flute.
In the starry night sky, celestial beings descend from the heavenly world to make offerings to the Buddha and pagodas while scattering flowers and playing music.
This fountain pen invites you to a space envisioned by ancient people who believed that celestial beings would descend from the heavenly world to make offerings to Buddha and pagodas while scattering flowers and playing music in the starry night sky.
This commemorative fountain pen features a grape arabesque design on the pedestal of the Kondo Yakushi Nyorai statue (Koshokagaza) at the feet of the flute player,
The four deities protecting the four directions of east, west, south, north, and west, as well as the deformed images of the guardians of the Buddha's law and the designs of flower portions are embossed in relief.
The image of Mount Sumeru, where Yakushi Nyorai resides, evokes the thoughts of people praying in an age when medicine was not yet developed.
It is said that the belief in the Yakushi Nyorai began to flourish around the 7th century, as people sought healing and peace of mind,
This gem embodies the world of the Buddha, who continues to exist in a special space even in this life, as a Buddha who saves people from illness and pain and removes inner suffering.
The delicate maki-e finish on the sterling silver base, the moderate weight, and the adorable design of the shaft make this a gem of a model that creates a meaningful space for not only writing time, but also a meaningful space.
Among the many limited editions, "Hisho Tenjin" boasts high popularity due to its advanced technology and delicate design.
It is a rare limited edition.

*The colors may look different from the actual product depending on the display.
*Although the pen has been carefully cleaned, some ink may remain on the nib or inside the body due to the characteristics of fountain pens, and the color may be blended when the pen is first used.
