Concept and Design
In Japanese culture, kodogu refers to the elegant accessories that define the refinement of geishas: fans, umbrellas, combs, sandals, or even musical instruments such as harps. These elements, shown in gold against the red transparent body, symbolize sophistication and artistry. The Preppy Wa Geisha no Kodougu embraces this tradition, transforming it into a modern and accessible fountain pen design.
Functionality and Filling System
Equipped with a stainless steel fine nib (F), it delivers smooth and reliable writing. Compatible with Platinum cartridges and Platinum 500 and 700 converters (not included), it offers both practicality and flexibility for bottled inks. The transparent cap incorporates the Slip & Seal mechanism, keeping the pen ready to write instantly even after long breaks.
Includes one Platinum ink cartridge. It can also use international standard cartridges with the Platinum PTN100 adapter.
Performance and Ink Retention
Thanks to the Slip & Seal system, the pen maintains ink flow and prevents drying, making it a reliable choice for collectors, students, and anyone who values Japanese cultural artistry.
