Platinum LE 3776 Century – Fuji Unkei “Kasumi”

Kasumi (2024)

 Fuji Unkei “Kasumi” focuses on the rich natural greenery that can be glimpsed at the foot of Mt. Fuji through the mist, and the cap and gripping section are finished in a calming green color. The barrel is carved to reproduce the Kasumi – Mon (Kasumi pattern) that has been seen on picture scrolls and folding screen paintings since ancient times. Kasumi, meaning haze or mist, is inspired by the majestic form of Mt. Fuji glimpsed through the mist at dawn (as well as the surrounding mountains and the activities of the people) as depicted in “View at Dawn from Isawa in Kai Province” from the ukiyo-e series thirty-six views of Mt. Fuji by Katsushika Hokusai.

By connecting small circular cuts, we expressed the appearance of waving mist. This continuous yet irregularly arranged pattern gives a complex contrast and shine, creating a unique fountain pen never seen before.
