SKU: 4977114116889
Sale price$20.00 AUD

The Platinum Preppy Wa 2nd Edition collection is a beautiful blend of traditional Japanese aesthetics and modern functionality. Each design in this limited edition series is not just visually stunning but also rich with cultural symbolism. Here’s a quick rundown of its features and what makes it stand out:

  1. Design and Craftsmanship: The pens are adorned with traditional Japanese patterns, each symbolizing a positive omen. The patterns are applied using silk screen printing, then embellished with colored powders like gold and silver. This technique, while distinct from traditional Maki-e lacquer work, still offers a textured, three-dimensional appearance thanks to the reflective powders.

  2. Build Quality: The Platinum Preppy fountain pen, particularly in the morning glory design, features a transparent body with a clear cap and grip section. The morning glory design itself has historical significance, symbolizing wealth, prosperity, and strong bonds due to its robust growth and expensive seeds.

  3. Nib and Mechanism: It has a stainless steel nib, which ensures durability and a smooth writing experience. The Slip & Seal Mechanism is a notable feature, keeping the ink fresh for up to a year without use, which means you can pick up your pen anytime without worrying about the ink drying out.

  4. Filling Options: The pen can be filled using Platinum cartridges or a converter (sold separately) for bottled ink. Additionally, you have the option to convert it into an eyedropper pen for a larger ink capacity. This involves adding an o-ring and some silicone grease to ensure a leak-proof seal.

  5. Historical Context: Morning glories were originally introduced in Japan for medicinal uses and later became popular during the Edo period, making their way into art and culture. Their symbolism of wealth and prosperity, along with their strong vine growth, adds a layer of meaning to the pen’s design.

Overall, the Platinum Preppy Wa 2nd Edition is not only a practical and reliable pen but also a piece of art and tradition, making it an excellent choice for both new and seasoned fountain pen enthusiasts.
