Platinum 3776 Century Yamabudotorisu Squirrel and Grapes
Featuring a seemingly simple, lyrical motif which is actually infused with deep significance, the Platinum 3776 Century Yamabudotorisu Squirrel and Grapes fountain pen is a superb example of the Platinum brand approach to Maki-e art.
Hand-finished and signed by the Maki-e artist, this pen is provided with your choice of 18k solid gold nib. We are an authorized Platinum dealer.
The squirrel (risu), as an animal which stores food for the future, is seen as a symbol of fortune and good luck in traditional Japanese art. Grapes, or budō, are commonly used as a symbol for the similarly pronounced budō, or way of the Samurai. The result is a motif which seems whimsical on the surface, but actually contains deep cultural resonance.
Not just an inviting work of Maki-e art, this pen is also an excellent everyday writing instrument. Platinum's convenient cartridge-converter system allows for the use of any bottled fountain pen ink when using the converter, provided by us free of charge with your order. It can also use Platinum brand disposable cartridges.
Our complimentary nib tuning services adjust optimum pressure and ink flow to your personal writing preferences, and our optional nib customizations can add to the distinctiveness and character of your writing on the page. Each pen ships in a special presentation box which includes a starter ink cartridge.
