The Platinum 3776 Century Kanazawa Haku Fountain Pen in the Ascending Dragon design brings traditional Japanese gold leaf artistry to a modern writing instrument. An intricate dragon motif rises across the barrel and cap, rendered with hand-applied Kanazawa haku leaf that catches the light with layered depth and subtle tonal shifts. The result is refined, luminous, and unmistakably Japanese in character.
Craftsmanship & Design
Kanazawa, long renowned for its gold leaf production, lends both technique and spirit to this piece. Ultra-thin leaf is carefully placed by artisans, then sealed under a clear protective finish to preserve the delicate surface and enhance durability. The 3776 Century platform provides the canvas: a well-proportioned resin body with warm gold-plated accents, balancing artistry with everyday reliability. Because the leaf is applied by hand, slight variations are inherent and add to the individuality of each pen.
Writing Experience
A 14k gold nib delivers a responsive, well-damped feel with the characteristic precision of Japanese nibs. Available in extra fine, fine, medium, and broad, it offers crisp line control for journals, correspondence, and detailed annotations. The Slip & Seal cap mechanism helps prevent ink from drying out for extended periods, supporting dependable starts even after time away. The pen accepts Platinum proprietary cartridges and is compatible with the Platinum converter for bottled ink use.
Provenance
Founded in 1919, Platinum has shaped the evolution of modern Japanese fountain pens with technical innovations and thoughtful ergonomics. The Kanazawa Haku series connects that engineering heritage to traditional craft, pairing the 3776 Century's everyday performance with a time-honored decorative art that continues to define Kanazawa on the world stage.
