Platinum LE 3776 Century – Fuji Unkei “Kinu-Gumo”

Fuji Unkei “Kinu-Gumo”
To celebrate the release of Platinum Penʼs model, the #3776 CENTURY, a series of fountain pens called “Fuji
Five Lakes” was created from 2011 to 2016, followed by the “Fuji Shunkei” series from 2017 to 2021, which showcased the beautiful seasonal scenes of Mt. Fuji on the body of the pens using an advanced cutting technique. In 2023, the “Fuji Unkei”series was born with the concept of expressing that image using various decorative methods, inspired by the beautiful scenery created by the collaboration of Mt. Fuji and the surrounding clouds. As the third product in the series, we will be releasing “Kinu-Gumo,” which takes on the challenge of new decoration.

Kinu-Gumo generally refer to cirrus clouds. ”Kinu” in Japanese means silk, and cirrus clouds are characterized by their thin, delicate, fibrous, or feathery appearance, resembling silk. Fuji Unkei Kinu-Gumo expresses these characteristics delicately and dynamically with two techniques used for metal decoration:“guilloche engraving” and “V-blade engraving.” By
daring to create unengraved areas, the presence of clouds in the sky can be felt even more, and this is truly a cloudscape.

Dome – The nut inside the dome honors Mt. Fuji and is the signature of the Fuji series. The serial number is engraved on the dome

Engraving – Two types of engravings on the transparent body create expressive cirrus clouds.

Nib and Grip Section – The 14K gold nib, plated with rhodium, radiates subtle brilliance. A new color scheme is used for the grip section colored in a translucent Blue green that matches the color of the cap.

Exclusive Box for Kinu-Gumo

The special edition packaging features an image of “Kinu-gumo”. The set also includes a
converter, an ink cartridge and a special-colored ink called “NIshiki-Oru-Fuji.”
