Platinum Japan Modern Maki-e Fountain Pen “Preppy wa Edo-Monogatari”- Sake

Sake / Sake

With the development of the townspeople's culture, sake brewing technology improved, and a diverse range of sake varieties emerged during the Edo period. In the mid-Edo period, “izake” (sake shops where customers could drink on the premises), which became the origin of the term “izakaya” (Japanese pub), appeared. This gave rise to a culture where ordinary people could casually drop in.

The “Preppy wa” modern Maki-e version, released in 2023 and 2024 and received great reviews, will be released its third edition "Edo-Monogatari" as a limited edition model. This time, with the theme of the Edo period, we 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. The Preppy has been a 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.

The Preppy is equipped with a “Slip & Seal mechanism” that prevents the ink from drying out even after a year with the cap closed. You can write it down anytime, so you won't feel stressed.

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 coloured 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.
