Platinum Kanazawa Leaf Ascending Dragon

Platinum Kanazawa Leaf Ascending Dragon

The beauty of the Kanazawa-haku (gold leaf) and the traditional techniques have joined together to release a premium masterpiece, the Kanazawa-haku fountain pen “Ascending Dragon,” our second “Kanazawa-haku (gold leaf)” fountain pen series after “Fujin Raijin (the Wind God and the Thunder God)”

Platinum “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.
