The Platinum 3776 Century Kanazawa Haku Fountain Pen - Matsu-Tora brings traditional Japanese gold leaf artistry to Platinum's flagship writing platform. The pine and tiger motif, long associated with resilience and strength, is rendered in luminous Kanazawa haku that shifts gently in the light, making each pen visually distinct and quietly expressive.

Craftsmanship & Design

Kanazawa haku is created from exceptionally thin sheets of gold leaf, hand-applied by skilled artisans to the resin body and cap. Subtle variations in the leaf and the way it is laid create natural depth and a mosaic-like gleam. The composition is then protected with clear lacquer, preserving the artwork for daily use. Gold-tone appointments complement the warm luster of the leaf, while the 3776 Century silhouette keeps the focus on balance and comfort in hand.

The Matsu-Tora theme is thoughtfully arranged across cap and barrel, with the pine evoking longevity and the tiger conveying vitality. In use or on display, the pen presents a refined interplay of texture, reflection, and traditional symbolism without overwhelming the clarity of the form.

Writing Experience

At the heart of this model is Platinum's 14k gold nib, tuned for reliable flow and consistent line formation. Available in a wide range of sizes, it offers precise feedback in the finer grades and a smooth, more expressive glide in the broader widths. The 3776 Century's Slip & Seal inner cap mechanism helps prevent ink from drying for extended periods, so the pen starts promptly even after long pauses. A proprietary cartridge/converter system provides clean, dependable filling and easy ink changes.

Brand Heritage

Established in 1919, Platinum combines time-honored craft with thoughtful engineering. The 3776 series takes its name from the height of Mt. Fuji, signaling both its Japanese provenance and its aspirational design goals. The Kanazawa Haku collection bridges regional gold leaf traditions with everyday writing performance, creating a piece that is as functional as it is artful.
