Kintsugi, which translates to \"golden joinery,\" is the ancient Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by rejoining the pieces with lacquer mixed with gold.  It is the belief that even if something is broken, there is still beauty in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Pilot Vanishing Point 2026 Limited Edition features a pearlescent dark blue barrel, accented with metallic gold lines that evoke the repaired seams of pottery, creating a striking expression of the beauty of restoration. It is also the first in the series in many years to feature gold-tone trim, evoking the refined warmth and collector appeal of milestone editions such as the Vanishing Point 50th Anniversary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCrafted in Japan, the Golden Journey is equipped with Pilot's renowned retractable fountain pen mechanism, allowing the medium 18K gold nib to extend with a simple click of the push button. As the nib slides forward, it pushes the lid down; a second click retracts the nib and allows the lid to spring up, shutting the gap air-tight to help prevent the ink from drying out. The slim nib is specially designed to fit inside the pen and folds down to grab the feed tightly, enabling it to withstand the constant movements of the retractable mechanism. Presented in a specially designed gift box, the Golden Journey is a meaningful addition for collectors, enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates the fusion of innovative engineering, fine craftsmanship, and timeless design.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in Medium nib only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18K gold nib\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumbered limited edition up to 2,026\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe pen comes with a\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yosekastationery.mom\/products\/pilot-con-40-piston-converter\"\u003eCON-40\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, one black\u003c\/span\u003e cartridge, and one cartridge cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible cartridges can be found here:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yosekastationery.mom\/collections\/namiki\"\u003ePilot\/Namiki Fountain Pens\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNib replacement unit: Available in\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yosekastationery.mom\/products\/pilot-vanishing-point-nib-unit-black\"\u003eBlack\u003c\/a\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yosekastationery.mom\/products\/pilot-vanishing-point-nib-unit-gold\"\u003eGold\u003c\/a\u003e, and\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yosekastationery.mom\/products\/pilot-vanishing-point-nib-unit-rhodium\"\u003eRhodium\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackaged in a vertical gift box that can prop up the Vanishing Point \/ Capless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease date: September 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yosekastationery.mom\/collections\/pilot-vanishing-point-fountain-pens\"\u003ePilot Vanishing Point Fountain Pens\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePilot Capless\/Vanishing Point:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1963, Pilot released the first ever retractable fountain pen. After clicking the push button, the nib slides forward and pushes the lid down. By clicking the push button again, the nib retracts and the lid springs up, shutting the gap air-tight to prevent the ink from drying out. The nib is slim to fit inside the pen, and it folds down to grab the feed tightly to handle the constant movements. \u2028The very first version of Capless was actually a much more complicated mechanism to twist and expose the nib — and it was a result of 6 years research. It’s also worth noting that after the war in Japan, the businesses were booming, and many brands were willing to invest in product developments. Many brands we mentioned before such as Midori (Dimond Memo), Radar (SEED eraser) and Sailor (first ballpoint, first ink cartridge and first 21K gold nib) all had some notable products around this time. Pilot, too, was busy. Aside from Capless, Elite and Custom Series were introduced, and the first 0.5mm ballpoint with stainless steel tip was introduced by Pilot as well. For the past 50 years, there has been 11 different generations of Capless. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pilot","offers":[{"title":"Medium","offer_id":54109395845333,"sku":".GP\/23413","price":650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1717\/0621\/files\/VanishingPointLimited2026_Angle_Left.jpg?v=1782374820","url":"https:\/\/yosekastationery.mom\/products\/pilot-vanishing-point-2026-limited-edition-golden-journey","provider":"Yoseka Stationery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
