The Platinum 3776 Century Urushi Maki-e Fountain Pen - Sakura blends Japan's most beloved seasonal motif with the brand's flagship writing platform. Layers of urushi lacquer create a deep, lustrous base for hand-applied maki-e cherry blossoms that catch the light with a gentle shimmer. Built on the dependable 3776 Century architecture with its air-tight Slip & Seal cap, it is as engaging to write with as it is to admire.

Craftsmanship & Design

Traditional urushi lacquer is applied in multiple stages to achieve a rich, durable gloss, then adorned with maki-e artwork depicting sakura petals in motion. Subtle metallic accents bring depth and nuance to the composition, and because the maki-e work is applied by hand, the placement and character of each blossom can vary slightly from piece to piece. The result is a refined, tactile surface that rewards close viewing without overwhelming the pen's clean, timeless silhouette.

Writing Experience

At the heart of the 3776 Century is a responsive 14k gold nib available in a wide range of Platinum grinds, from Ultra Extra Fine for precision notes to bold Broad and Coarse options with generous ink coverage. The Soft Fine adds a touch of spring for expressive line variation, while the classic Fine and Medium deliver balanced, everyday versatility. Platinum's Slip & Seal mechanism helps prevent dry-out for up to 24 months when capped, so the pen is ready when inspiration strikes. A proprietary cartridge/converter system offers easy maintenance and reliable flow.

Brand Heritage

Founded in 1919, Platinum has shaped modern Japanese fountain pen culture through technical innovation and thoughtful design. The 3776 series, named for the height of Mount Fuji, is celebrated for its nib craftsmanship and daily reliability. In this Sakura interpretation, traditional lacquer artistry meets precision engineering, creating a piece that feels distinctly Japanese in both spirit and execution.
