Kanazawa Gold Leaf Fountain Pen

[A Product Developed in Collaboration with a Japanese Fountain Pen Manufacturer]

This product was developed in collaboration with Platinum Pen, a Japanese fountain pen manufacturer celebrating its 100th year anniversary. Since its establishment in 1919,
Platinum Pen has placed importance on the practicality and durability of fountain pens and the company has been steadfastly preserving traditional production methods.
This sincere attitude toward manufacturing is supported by people of all ages and genders.

[A Specially Devised Excellent Product]

The pen enables you to write comfortably without requiring any pressure. Given just the right flexibility by making the base of the nib thin and gradually increasing the thickness
toward the tip of the nib, this fountain pen is well balanced and easy to write with. In addition to the practicality of the pen as a writing instrument, we also paid special attention
to the design. The design of the barrel is created with Kanazawa Gold Leaf, a traditional craft material that has been passed down through generations within the traditions
and culture of Kanazawa City. These fountain pens feature an elegant traditional maki-e* type design depicting the beauties of nature expressed with the exquisitely shining
Kanazawa Gold Leaf. Using gold leaf on the barrel requires an advanced coating technique that has both high durability and transparency which does not interfere with the
glow of gold leaf.
