Platinum Procyon Luster Modern Maki-e Cranes Over Moon Fountain Pen

A new model featurning modern Maki-e design, Procyon Luster. Named for one of the brightest stars in the night sky, the Platinum Procyon pen is designed to brighten your writing experience with its sleek body, convenient filling mechanism, and smooth nib. It also features Platinum's patented "Slip and Seal" cap design that keeps the nib from drying out for a year or longer without use. This makes it ideal for new fountain pen users and people who like to switch pens frequently. The Procyon was the winner of the ISOT 2019 grand prize for functionality.

Luster Cranes Over Moon combines traditional pattern and contemporary style. The modern maki-e design incorporates the style of "Rimpa", which is one of the art forms of Japanese paintings. Cranes have long been cherished in Japan as a symbol of good luck and used in various items and kimono patterns since ancient times.

In 1962, Platinum Pen launched Japan’ s first fountain pen that employed a pentagon-shaped gold nib. The same production knowhow for such a pen nib is also applied in the Procyon fountain pen. Its resiliency realizes a writing feel similar to that of a gold nib, in spite of being made with stainless steel.
