Platinum Century Rising Dragon
The follow-up to the highly popular Fujin Raijin, the Platinum 3776 Century Rising Dragon features hand-applied gold leaf over a Maki-e style motif inspired by a traditional screen painting created by 17th century Rinpa school artist Sotatsu Tawaraya. The memorable design and attention to quality and detail result in a pen that could easily be mistaken for a writing instrument costing three or four times as much.
The Century series is Platinum's subtle redesign of the popular 3776 series pens. Utilizing a new "Slip and Seal" design which tightly seals the cap to maintain ink freshness and avoid dry-outs, these pens promise to take the classic and affordable 3776 series into the 21st century and beyond.
Equal care has been given to the writing qualities of this economically priced pen, which utilizes 14k solid gold nibs and Platinum's efficient cartridge-converter system.
The Rising Dragon can be filled with any bottled fountain pen ink, or with Platinum brand cartridges. Hand-painted Maki-e converters are also available.

As its namesake suggests, the Rising Dragon literally ascends along the length of the fountain pen.
The Platinum 3776 Century Rising Dragon fountain pen ships in a simple presentation box which includes converter and starter ink cartridge.
