    Info from PILOT-employee (exists as e-mail):

    3 models were launch in 1993 like a trilogy.

    Name: FUJI (Wisteria)
    Artist: Yasunori Sakamoto
    Launch: in 1993
    This models was launched as a successor models of our 70th Anniversary fountain pen.
    There are three patterns which are -OB (wild flower), -FU (wisteria) and -HG (Japanese bush clover).
    The concept was "the soul of Japanese".
    The three artisans were requested to come up with their ideas, having inspiration from poetry about flowers in Kokin Wakashu* and Manyoshu*.
    Wisteria was one of them made by Yasunori.
    The other two were wild flower (-OB/ obana) by Kyusai Yoshida and Japanese bush clover (-HG/ hagi) by Hyakusen Murata.

    *Kokin Wakashu: an early anthology of the Japanese poetry (waka)
    *Manyoshu: the oldest extant collection of Japanese poetry
