Platinum Preppy Wa Modern Maki-e Fountain Pen | Asagao

Platinum is a Japanese brand specializing in creating unique fountain pens with over 100 years of tradition, based on a huge passion for these writing instruments.

The brand's mission is to create pens from the highest quality materials, such as resin, ebonite, celluloid, silver, gold, and platinum, and to seek and implement innovative solutions for even better writing comfort.

The Preppy Wa Limited Edition was inspired by traditional Japanese patterns, which are also symbols that are believed to bring good luck and prosperity.

Modern Maki-e, or the so-called powder painting, is applied using screen printing and then sprinkled with colored powders such as gold or silver.

The Asagao pattern depicts morning glory flowers. This plant appeared in Japan during the Heian period and was cultivated for medicinal purposes. Because morning glory seeds are considered expensive, the plant is a symbol of wealth and prosperity. It is also associated with the meaning of "strong bond" because it grows as a strong vine.

Platinum Preppy fountain pens are the perfect choice for beginners.

The transparent body is made of durable polycarbonate. This allows you to monitor the ink flow.

The pen has the "Slip&Seal" closure system patented by the Platinum brand, which guarantees that the ink will not dry out even if we do not use the pen for a year.

The nib is made of stainless steel and is size F.

Platinum fountain pen nibs are approximately one size thinner than European nibs. A Japanese F nib will produce a line similar in thickness to a European EF nib.

The fountain pen is powered by dedicated Platinum cartridges, replaceable with a piston.
