The Platinum 3776 Century Urushi Maki-e Sansui fountain pen brings together the trusted 3776 Century writing platform and the quiet poetry of Japanese urushi artistry. Its Sansui motif evokes a classic landscape of mountains and water, rendered by hand in layered lacquer and gleaming maki-e accents. The result is a refined everyday writer with the presence of a collectible, made in Japan and built to endure.
Craftsmanship & Design
Each pen is finished with hand-applied urushi lacquer and traditional maki-e decoration, creating depth, luster, and subtle variations that make every example unique. Gold-toned clip and rings frame the artwork without distracting from it, while the familiar 3776 silhouette remains balanced and purposeful in the hand. The lacquered surface provides a smooth, durable finish that develops character with use. Sansui, literally mountains and water, is a time-honored theme in Japanese art that complements the pen’s calm, contemplative aesthetic.
Writing Experience
A 14k gold nib delivers a lively, precise line with the tuned consistency for which Platinum is known. Choose from select sizes, including UEF, EF, F, Soft Fine, M, B, and C, to suit everything from compact annotation to generous signatures. Platinum’s Slip & Seal cap mechanism helps prevent ink from drying, supporting reliable starts even after extended pauses. The cartridge/converter system offers clean convenience with Platinum proprietary cartridges and compatibility with a Platinum converter for bottled inks.
Heritage
Founded in 1919, Platinum has shaped modern Japanese fountain pen culture through material innovation and exacting nib work. The 3776 line takes its name from the elevation of Mount Fuji, a symbol of clarity and permanence. The Century generation further refined the model with Slip & Seal technology and thoughtful ergonomics. This Sansui urushi maki-e edition extends that legacy by pairing time-tested mechanics with artisan lacquer work.
