Platinum 3776 Shoryu-zu and Matsu-Tora Pine Tree & Tiger Fountain Pen

dragon and tiger together.







Platinum 3776 Shoryu-zu

“Ascending Dragon” has been painted as an auspicious work inspired from the ancient time. Using the “Unryu-zu (a folding screen along with the painting of a dragon in the clouds)” painted by Sotatsu Tawaraya as a motif, we applied “Kanazawa-haku Momi Chirashi” technique meticulously on each of the fountain pens. By utilizing a modern “makie” technique, we have created a distinguished and sophisticated “Rimpa” style fountain pen. The base is Kanazawa-haku using Momi Chirashi, a traditional technique that after a gold leaf is extended to a thin sheet, it is torn into smaller pieces. These are then pasted to the barrel of the pen, giving an elegant glow that reflects light with depth and adding a lively motion to the dragon, which makes a remarkable, one-of-a-kind fountain pen.

Designed with the complete airtight Slip & Seal Mechanism of the popular “#3776 CENTURY” series that prevents ink from drying out in the pen, it allows those who only use their pen once or twice a year writing with fresh new ink. By applying the traditional technique developed over time, the fountain pen has an elegant finishing reminiscent of a painting of antique folding screen.
