Platinum Kanazawa Leaf Red Mt. Fuji Fountain Pen 18K Gold Medium Nib

Attain the Serenity of Mt Fuji.

Platinum’s Kanazawa Gold Leaf fountain pens utilize the Japanese traditional art of gold leaf foil to decorate these slender artful pens. Gold leaf art is created by sandwiching thin pieces of gold foil in between special washi paper and hammering these sheets to an extreme thinness, allowing them to be applied to the surface of various objects. Traditionally in Japan, gold leaf art has been used in sacred places such as temples and on the vessels and objects that adorn those places.

In this collection of Kanazawa Gold Leaf fountain pens from Platinum, maki-e techniques as well as Kanazawa Gold Leaf techniques are utilized to finish the artwork on the barrel of the pen. In Japan, this collection of fountain pens are within a collection called 美巧, roughly translating to “skilled beauty,” undoubtedly inspired by the craftsmanship and artistic beauty of the pens within the collection.
