The New #3776 CENTURY Fuji Series Fuji Unkei “Kasumi*”
Limited edition of 3,000 units worldwide.
To celebrate the release of Platinum Pen’s 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 express- ing that image using various decorative methods, inspired by the beautiful scenery created by the collaboration of Mt. Fuji and the surrounding clouds. As the second product in the series, we will be releasing “Kasumi,” which takes on the challenge of new decoration.
*Kasumi: haze; mist.
A new cutting expression inspired by Kasumi-Mon
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. 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.
“Fuji-No-Akatsuki” Ink for the Fuji Unkei series
The #3776 CENTURY Fuji Unkei series comes with a 20ml-bottle of specially blended Fuji-No-Akatsuki ink to commemorate its release. This ink is inspired by the purplish panoramic view of Mt. Fuji seen at dawn. Depending on the lighting, you can see a deep green reflection. It is similar to the way the surrounding trees gradually change color as the sun rises. Please enjoy it together with the main body color of the fountain pen.
