PLATINUM - Preppy Fountain Pen - Modern Maki-e Limited Edition - Nasu / Eggplant Purple - 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.

Nasu (Eggplant)
In Japanese, the word "Nasu" sounds like terms meaning "things will go well" and "success," making it a popular symbol of good fortune. It is believed that seeing "Ichi-Fuji, Ni-Taka, San-Nasubi" (Mt. Fuji, a hawk, and eggplants) in one's first dream of the New Year brings good luck. Eggplants, or "Nasu," are therefore a familiar and lucky plant for the Japanese.
