This time, with the theme of the Edo period, Platinum have incorporated six patterns related to Edo life onto the body of the fountain pen using a unique Japanese technique, modern Maki-e. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike conventional Maki-e, it is applied with silk screen printing instead of urushi lacquer on the underlayer, which is then sprinkled with colored powders such as gold and silver and hand-finished one by one by Maki-e artisans. It gives more thickness compared to normal printing, while the reflections and shades of the powders create a three-dimensional feel. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe Platinum Preppy fountain pen is one of the best values for the money! This is a fantastic starter fountain pen, or great for lending to a friend. This fountain pen features a black body with gold bat designs, a clear cap, trim, and grip section, and a stainless steel nib. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt also comes equipped with the Slip \u0026amp; Seal Mechanism, which prevents the ink from drying out inside the pen even after a year without usage, providing a stress-free, smooth writing experience at any time. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe Preppy accepts Platinum cartridges or a Platinum converter to fill with bottled ink.

In the mid-Edo period, “izake” (sake shops where customers could drink on the premises), which became the origin of the term “izakaya” (Japanese pub), appeared. This gave rise to a culture where ordinary people could casually drop in.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.gouletpens.mom\/collections\/platinum-ink-cartridges\" title=\"Platinum Ink Cartridges\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eClick here\u003c\/a\u003e to shop all compatible Platinum ink cartridges.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Platinum","offers":[{"title":"Fine","offer_id":41389032570923,"sku":"Plat-PSQ-1300-02-F","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2603\/2528\/files\/Platinum-Preppy-Wa-Sake-stock-1.jpg?v=1762356431","url":"https:\/\/www.gouletpens.mom\/products\/platinum-preppy-wa-modern-maki-e-fountain-pen-sake-limited-edition","provider":"The Goulet Pen Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
