Introducing a limited edition fountain pen from Platinum, the Procyon Luster: Koi Carp!
Unlike traditional maki-e fountain pens which mostly come in black, the Procyon Luster fountain pen: "Koi Carp" has an innovative champagne gold metal barrel paired with maki-e patterns!
The barrel is adorned with water patterns by the famous Edo period painter Ogata Kōrin, as well as the well-known varieties of Japanese koi carp "Showa Sanke," "Taisho Sanke," and "Kohaku."
Each pattern is handcrafted by artisans who apply gold, silver and other colored maki-e patterns, layer by layer onto the pen using silk printing. It's perfect for those who want to experience maki-e craftsmanship at an affordable price.
Legend has it that carps can transform into mighty dragons by swimming upstream against the river’s strong current and leaping into the “dragon gate.” This is often used as a metaphor for achieving success or promotion, making this pen particularly suitable as a gift for students or professionals!
About Platinum Procyon
Named after the brightest star in the Canis Minor constellation, the Platinum Procyon is the fountain pen to brighten up your day!
It features an aluminum body with the perfect weight balance, matte coating that feels smooth but not slippery to hold, a screw cap, and Platinum’s proprietary “slip and seal” mechanism that prevents the ink from drying out in the pen.
The pentagon-shaped stainless steel nib offers a pleasing softness and flexibility, similar to that of a gold nib!
One more thing that makes this Procyon special is the unique breather hole. The newly-designed breather hole is at the bottom of the feed instead of on the top. This unique positioning allows one to soak up every last drop of ink from a bottle.
With these great features, the Platinum Procyon represents a step up from entry level pens and is the perfect pen for everyday use.
The Platinum Procyon uses a Platinum converter or Platinum ink cartridges.
