Brand History and Philosophy

Founded in 1919, Platinum Pen Co. has established itself as one of Japan’s leading fountain pen manufacturers. With a commitment to craftsmanship and innovation, every Platinum pen is a reflection of the brand’s dedication to quality writing instruments.

The original 3776 model was introduced in 1978, named after the height of Mount Fuji (3,776 meters) as a symbol of excellence. Created by the late fountain pen expert Haruo Umeda, known as “Mr. Fountain Pen,” the design quickly gained popularity, selling over 150,000 units in just six months.

Between 2009 and 2011, Platinum launched a comprehensive technical overhaul based on more than 40,000 writing data points collected by its subsidiary Nakaya. The result was a new generation of nibs, feeds, and components under the "Motosu" and "Century" lines, blending form and function with unmatched precision.
