In the mid-Edo period, "Izake" (sake shops where customers could drink on the premises), which became the origin of the term "izakaya" (Japanese pub), appeared. This gave rise to the culure where ordinary people could casually drop in. 

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.
