Platinum Kanazawa Gold Leaf Red Mt. Fuji Makie Fountain Pen

Platinum Kanazawa Gold Leaf Red Mt. Fuji Makie Fountain Pen

This fountain pen represents a perfect balance between tradition and modernity. Crafted from AS resin, it is delicately decorated with gold and silver leaf from Kanazawa using modern makie, a traditional Japanese technique that combines “sprinkling” and “painting” with metallic powders.

Mount Fuji at sunrise is the central motif of this beautiful piece of modern makie, created using the “scattered leaf” technique and protected by a transparent urushi lacquer coating. The city of Kanazawa, renowned for its centuries-old tradition of gold leaf craftsmanship, gives its name to this series. The result is a stunning work of functional art, capturing the golden glow of dawn over Japan’s most iconic mountain.

The 18k gold nib offers exceptional resilience and durability. Highly resistant to acidic inks, it ensures years of use without corrosion. Special attention has been given to the tip’s geometry: a thinner base that thickens toward the end provides an ideal balance between flexibility and control.

Lighter and slimmer than models like the 3776 series, this pen adapts comfortably to the hand and stands out for its elegance. It comes presented in a box and includes, courtesy of Inktraveler, a complimentary inkwell.
