Their aim was simple- to create the ideal fountain pen. The #3776 was made available to the public beginning in 1978. After just six months, over 150,000 pens had been sold, and its popularity has been maintained ever since. #3776 expresses the height in meters of Mt. Fuji, the highest and most beautiful peak in Japan. Platinum Platinum produces a variety of Maki-E pens, including lacquer carving, pearl inlay and pens with the Kanshitu-rough volcanic-type surface. In 1919, Syunichi Nakata, a collector of imported fountain pens, opened a small fountain pen shop in Okayama, Japan. His shop became very successful in a short period. In 1924, he moved to downtown Tokyo, adjacent to several pen manufacturers, and officially named his company Nakaya Seisakusho. The company exceeded earlier success and grew to nearly 80 employees. Later in 1924, Nakata changed the company name to the Platinum Pen Company. Platinum initially sold pens via mail order to office workers and teachers in small villages throughout Japan. Soon, they were exporting to Singapore, Hong Kong, and Java. In 1978, Platinum introduced its longest-lasting model to date, the 3776 fountain pen. Platinum named it in reverence to Mt. Fuji, which is 3776 meters tall. And in 1981, the New York Modern Museum of Art displayed Platinum's Z pen. The company has continued to grow from there. Platinum Pen, USA is a subsidiary of Platinum Pen, Japan, a manufacturer of fine writing instruments since 1919. Features of the “Slip and Seal” mechanism The innovative cap contains a unique “Slip & Seal” mechanism that prevents ink from drying out in the pen. This is the first fountain pen to feature the unique “Slip and Seal” mechanism, currently being patented, in an open with screw type cap.
