Description

During the Edo period, women who honed their skills in arts such as singing and dancing entertained guests at banquets. Many of the tools that supported geisha culture were handcrafted masterpieces by artisans, including musical instruments, ornaments, makeup tools, and daily necessities, with meticulous attention to detail, enhancing the beauty and elegance of the geisha. The artisanal techniques have been passed down to the present day as traditional crafts.

Platinum with the theme of the Edo period, have incorporated six patterns related to Edo life onto the body of the fountain pen using a unique Japanese technique, modern Maki-e. These are pop fountain pens with a striking texture that combines unique patterns and elegance. 

Modern Maki-e: Unlike conventional Maki-e, it is applied with silk screen printing instead of urushi lacquer on the underlayer, which is then sprinkled with colored powders such as gold and silver and hand-finished one by one by Maki-e artisans. It gives more thickness compared to normal printing, while the reflections and shades of the powders create a three-dimensional feel. 

The Preppy has been popular since its release in 2007 as a low-priced fountain pen that provides an authentic writing experience. The stainless steel nib with a special alloy point that is resistant to wear is the best quality in this price range.

The Preppy is equipped with a "Slip & Seal mechanism" that prevents the ink from drying out even after a year with the cap closed. You can write it down anytime, so you won't feel stressed.
