Description
The Platinum 3776 Century Kanazawa Gold Leaf Ascending Dragon fountain pen offers traditional craft at a surprisingly reasonable price. We can equip this pen with any of Platinum’s 14k solid gold nibs in sizes ranging from Super Extra Fine to Double Broad – choose the Fine Soft for our noted Super-Fine Super-Flex customization.
Kanazawa, the capital of Ishikawa Prefecture, is located on the west coast of Japan just south of Wajima and the Noto Peninsula. Kanazawa has been the center of Japanese gold leaf craft for hundreds of years. Artisans devote their entire lives to the perfection of their craft, and techniques are often passed down generationally within the same family.
The Ascending Dragon motif is one of the most popular and enduring in Japanese art. It is often associated with power, success, spiritual enlightenment, and good fortune.
The Kanazawa Gold Leaf Ascending Dragon employs a cartridge-converter filling system – the pen can use convenient disposable Platinum brand ink cartridges, and can also be filled with any bottled fountain pen ink by using the provided reusable converter.
Our free nib tuning sees to it that your pen is writing properly and tuned to the specifications you provide. Our optional nib customizations can add uniqueness and calligraphic styling to the writing you produce on the page.
Broader nibs are best for regrind customizations such as Architects Point and Stub, while finer nibs are most appropriate for the Flex customization.
Each pen ships in a special presentation box which includes instructions, the converter, and a starter ink cartridge. PacificPenWorks is an authorized retailer of Platinum products.
