Platinum Kanazawa-Haku Fountain Pen - Ascending Dragon - Fine

The Rising Dragon is the second Kanazawa-haku (gold leaf) series fountain pen and is painted by Sotatsu Tawaraya. The second Kanazawa-haku (gold leaf) fountain pen, "Ascending Dragon" painted by Sotatsu Tawaraya as a motif. He incorporates the exquisite beauty of Kanazawa gold leaf and masterful traditional techniques. In Kanazawa-Haku fountain pen series, Platinum artisans have meticulously applied “Momi Chirashi,” Japan?s traditional technique that has been used in a folding screen or a painting on fusuma (Japanese sliding doors) since ancient time in Japan. After a gold leaf is extended to a thin square sheet, it is torn into smaller pieces and then pasted together. By pasting these random forms of gold leaf together one by one by all hand, it creates a sense of unlimited depth, giving an elegant glow to the one-of-a-kind body.

Fuku Riu is the Japanese Dragon of Good Luck. Likely to be depicted as "ascending" since an ascending dragon is a sign of good luck in Eastern culture.

Designed with the complete airtight Slip & Seal Mechanism that prevents ink from drying out in the pen, it allows writing with fresh new ink at any time.

The fountain pen accepts proprietary Platinum cartridges or a Platinum converter for use with bottled ink (both are included), and features a 14kt gold nib.
