You can make the reservation now Click here

The innovative cap contains a unique “Slip & Seal” mechanism that prevents ink from drying out in the pen. Meanwhile, a newly redesigned nib and feed regulate the ink flow. Founded in 1919, Platinum Pens is now nearing a full century of achievement. The #3776 “Century” celebrates this approaching anniversary and continues Platinum Pens’ tradition of technological innovation. With Platinum Pens, the pleasure of writing and the use of fine writing instruments will always be evolving.
The #3776“ Century” Fountain Pen What qualities make for the ideal contemporary fountain pen? Sleek design, comfortable writing balance, smooth flow, and fast-drying ink… At the request of customers, we at Platinum Pen have gone back to the basics to address these issues. Every part and mechanism has been carefully studied and re-engineered. The result is the #3776 “Century,” designed on the base model of the popular #3776 series pens.

◆SLIP & SEAL MECHANISM

It has normally been thought difficult to make an airtight pen with a screw-type cap. If not sealed tightly, the following problems can result:

1. Ink drying out due to moisture evaporation.
2. Problems with dried ink if the pen is not used for three to six months.
3. It can be necessary to clean the pen using our Ink Cleaner Kit or even to repair or replace the nib itself if the damage due to dried ink is too severe.

At the request of customers, we at Platinum Pen Company have gone back to the basics to deal with this problem. This is the first fountain pen which has our unique “Slip & Seal” structure in a pen with a screw-type cap. Thanks to this innovation, currently being patented, it is possible to have a screw-type cap with complete airtightness.

Changes of the amount of ink by time with a cap.
About the Platinum #3776 Fountain Pen

The original #3776 series was designed by the late writing expert Haruo Umeda, known as “Mr.Fountain Pen,” along with the design team at Platinum Pen Company. 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.

The #3776’s nib and feed design is also used in the handcrafted Urushi pens made by the Nakaya Fountain Pen company, which has produced over thirty thousand pens using these writing tips. The #3776 series pen took over five years to develop and bring to market, but after overcoming many challenges, this pen has brought Platinum one step closer to that goal of the ideal pen

Japan Innovative GAGA Eraser....

Yesterday I went to a local stationery store near my House to buy an eraser..and I was surprised to see a very fancy eraser displayed on a lovely showcase with the typical Japanese manga characters in pictures showing the usage of this eraser.
This Eraser is typical cute eraser for the school girls.
The eraser can be used to erase in normal way but on the "LOVE" mark the girls can do manicure of their nails by rubbing it on the LOve mark and the nails becomes beautiful...

Many school girls in japan use it for educational as well as fashion item. It is ranked as on the best stationery innovative items in Japan with huge popularity. The school girls giggle and eagerness to buy this product in that shop was funny and worthy. Many school girls in Japan also gave it name as the "GAGA Eraser" and it is called GAGA eraser. The name is obvious from the LADY GAGAs fashion statement.

the price in Japan is 210JPY...pretty reasonable..recently my friend has purchased it for his daughter....Seems like LADY GAGA is taking over stationery fashion too..

Italian Murano Glass opinion

Last week I read a very interesting article about the Murano Glass in NY times

I have loved glass articles a lot and always love various techniques in making it in different shapes, angels, colors. Italian Murano Glasses are very special and one of my favorites.

But after reading the article about the latest situation of the Murano glass techniques in Italy and its debacle made me write this blog.
I have traveled the Silk road and had really got to known the treasures hidden on this road for long years back.
The Glass technique from Europe which many of us acknowledged and cherish is originally rooted in East i.e Asia. The technique of Glass has been exported to the Europe from the orient China along the silk road. The glass snuff bottles were used as by the Chinese to keep the medicines in it.

Later the European traders introduced the glass materials which became a huge hit everywhere.

The Murano glass technique is world recognized and wonderful but due to the crisis they are hard to survive and opting for new other income. I hope they recover soon and would love to see their more articles in future.

I also do like Chinese glass art. it is very oriental and different from others. The MADE IN CHINA articles in bulk making cheap has been spread all over world and thus everyone thinks that those items from China are cheap and useless. I do not agree on it completely, of course the latest MADE IN CHINA bulk articles are cheap and low quality but if we find the real treasures of China we can find many nice articles very rare and useful.

I have got some of the glass pens from China which are similar to Murano glass pens the quality is very nice and I love them. these are gem pens which I found in China.

New Hero 360 degree Innovative Cross nib pen

A very special and innovative All angle nib pen form hero. You all must be bored with the same style of nib. Fed up with applying too much pressure to write.
Always looking for special pens for left hand writers.

Here is the solution for all the problems: the New All angle nib.

What is the all angle nib? Whats its advantages over the standard nibs??


For example:
If you write on the carbon paper, you have to apply pressure to write. Then only it will help to copy on the carbon paper. But if you write with the all angle trident nib on the carbon paper without applying any pressure, you can see the carbon images easily. Isn’t this amazing? With no pressure just by the weight of the pen you can write as much as you want.
Many of my buyers’ complaint of wrist pain stress in hand or some other physical problem which makes hard to apply pressure while writing. This trident nib is a great way to write for all the people. The other advantage is that you can also write on low angel and even the left hand writers can use it. Therefore, it can be used by the right and left hand writers without any anxiety.

Trident nib History:
The Spacer actually invented this nib. Later they sold their trident nib technique to the Japanese Sailor pens and the Chinese Hero pens.

A bit Knowledge of Nuclear Reactor explosion in Fukushima Prefecture JAPAN

Today I saw the MSN Japan news and they had this wonderful knowledge of the nuclear reactor explosion and its consequences on their website.
This really helps to understand what will happen at the fuksuhima daiichi Nuclear reactor. as the media is creating a lot of news about it but nobody understands it properly those scientific term. So this video is giving some knowledge in cartoon illustration to easy to understand.
In Japan such cartoon illustrations are used a lot to explain many things. A typical Kawaii culture which I really enjoy in Japan.

I pray that the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant meltdown very soon and not turn into another incident as Chernobyl.
I am sure it will be soon recover. Amen!!

Feel free to put your comment on it. As together we share knowledge, we can overcome many difficulties in life.

Silk Road Luxurious Original Leather bags, Camel Bag

The Silk road Bags.
The name only sound so exotic and different and so are these bags coming from Silk Road.
As we all know that silk Road was the main trading channel from the Far East to the Europe. It played a major role in the industrial revolution in early centuries.

These bags are also obtained from Silk road. The amazing thing is its mesmerizing history and leather material. The leather we all are know are various types and different kinds. No one can explain the best quality of leather expect the experts. The leather from before the introduction to Europe was a precious skin in the far East. The European traders have learned that form the east and thus they also passed this from the Silk road channel.

This bag has a symbol of the Silk road, Camel. The Camel is the symbol of the Silk road channel passer helping the traders to pass its beautiful, bountiful elements from the its channel.

These bags are delicately made by Camel brands. The design, style and the quality is unbeatable. we all like these bags and thus recommend you all to use it for your daily use or make these bags as your travel companion.

My Leather Journey:

You must have seen various leather bags, purses, wallets in different stores with different prices. Don’t you go nuts and completely confuses in choosing the right leather items. I myself experienced it couple of times before and it was very hard for me select the leather bags, purses and wallets. I even bought couple of leather bags, wallets keeping in mind the higher the price the better the quality But I was mistaken and I after purchasing it I always regretted as always something was missing in it. I always felt that other people had more interesting and nicer leather than me.

This was bit frustrating!!?

Since then I started getting more into each and every detail of the leather. I also visited some leather stores, factories and some artists to ensure that I get each single details of the leather. The more I get to closer to the leather the more I realize that I have to go still far.



Some secret tips of mine to select the best leather:

l When you check any leather item, check the threading, or stitch at the corner of each leather. If the threads are loose or too many threading then it is possibly a leather in small patches attached together. It has a very short life and gets damaged easily.

l Always select the leather with fewer threads or almost no threads. The most highly quality leather bag or wallet, or purse is the leather of 1 whole piece without any cutting. This ensures that the leather is expensive and can live for long.

l All the leather stuff you see now doesnot have the whole leather made stuffs because it very cost and time consuming. Therefore the cheap leather stuffs are not the whole leather made stuffs in order to reduce the cost.

l The thickness can also determine the quality of the leather from the other mixed, amalgamated leather. This test is bit hard to understand by ordinary people so only experts can decide it.



How is leather obtained? Are the animals tortured?

The leather we are dealing with is either made from Cow, Calf or Horse. Leather is the hide skin of these animals. During this process neither of the animals are tortured nor brutally killed. These animals are specially bred for the leather purpose and therefore taken very special care. So please don’t worry and be safe to use this leather.

I myself believe and love animals, so I also don’t like to harm them.

Wrong news of Earthquake, Tsunami In Japan broad casted

We are terrified to see the Earthquake and Tsunami in the North eastern Japan mainly in Sendai, Fukushima prefecture.
We live in Southern Japan, where there is no alert of earthquake nor of tsunami.
but we still need to be caution about it.
Our transportation modes have changed, trains time tables have changed so it has affected also.

Secondly the nuclear reactor explosion is causing us lot of concern even we are far, it might get transferred through water, food in our parts also. I just pray to God that our situation in Japan goes back to normal.

I also want to tell many of my friends abroad that dont listen to the abroad News channel, they just elaborate the news too much with lot of hype. We are only following the NHK, Offcial japan news channel on which each news is properly detailed without any over heated news.
Because of many of the foreign news channel has showed wrong areas in earthquake hit and had also reported wrong that the whole Japan is under tsunami waves. Which is not true so please dont believe it. Im sad to see that the news reporters are making money by broadcasting wrong news and have no shame and pride to understand the actual situation in North eastern coast of Japan.

We all are strong and trying to get to normal. We are shocked to see this and I still cant believe it that this is happening.
I am thankful for the wonderful emails and phone calls I got from my abroad friends. It really helped me a lot to be taken care.

I wish all the people in Japan the power to be strong and fight this natural calamity which we all are suffering from.

I will try to keep updated some latest news from South of Japan.
