Platinum Preppy Wa Modern Maki-e Fountain Pens

The new limited modern Maki-e model with a quintessential Japanese feel will be released from the Japan-themed “preppy wa” fountain pen series that has been enjoying popularity since its launch in 2021. Featuring a total of six patterns, the new models convey the elegance and grace of Japanese tradition incorporated into a modern design using a distinctive modern Maki-e* technique.

Each pattern symbolizes a special auspicious sign so that you can choose your own favorite based on the design or meaning. 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. Preppy wa models are particularly appreciated by international customers while the auspicious patterns make them ideal for a casual gift.

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.
