Platinum with the theme of the Edo period, have incorporated six patterns related to Edo life onto the body of the fountain pen using a unique Japanese technique, modern Maki-e. These are pop fountain pens with a striking texture that combines unique patterns and elegance. 

Modern Maki-e: Unlike conventional Maki-e, it is applied with silk screen printing instead of urushi lacquer on the underlayer, which is then sprinkled with colored powders such as gold and silver and hand-finished one by one by Maki-e artisans. It gives more thickness compared to normal printing, while the reflections and shades of the powders create a three-dimensional feel. 

The Preppy has been popular since its release in 2007 as a low-priced fountain pen that provides an authentic writing experience. The stainless-steel nib with a special alloy point that is resistant to wear is the best quality in this price range.
