PLATINUM - Preppy Fountain Pen - Modern Maki-e Limited Edition - Koi no Taki-Nobori / Navy - 0.3 Fine Nib
The preppy series has been well-received since its first appearance in 2007 for its high writing performance while being reasonably priced. The nib made of highly-polished stainless steel with a mixed metal point provides excellent
abrasion resistance, making it the best quality fountain pen series for this price range. It also comes equipped with
the Slip & Seal Mechanism, which prevents the ink from drying out inside the pen even after a year without usage,
providing a stress-free, smooth writing experience at any time.
In this new Preppy Modern Maki-e Collection, Platinum features a total of six patterns. The new models convey the elegance and grace of the Japanese tradition incorporated into a modern design. Each pattern symbolizes a special auspicious sign so that you can choose your own favorite based on the design or meaning.
Koi no Taki-Nobori depicts carp climbing a waterfall.
Known for their vigorous vitality, carp are regarded as the premier river fish. This imagery is also seen as a fortunate symbol representing success in life, inspired by an ancient Chinese tale that tells of a carp that ascends a turbulent waterfall and transforms into a dragon.
