Platinum Higo zo-gan
This information on the Platinum Higo zo-gan comes from marketing copy. For more images, click here.
“The Platinum Higo zo-gan is a Japanese art form made by engraving detailed designs into an iron base and then adorning these patterns with gold. This method does not use any glazes or lacquers; instead the natural beauty of the iron and gold is emphasized. Unlike most of the #3776 Century range, this pen has a push-on cap, and does not have the ‘Slip and Seal’ cap fitting.”
The body is matte black with a satiny feel, while the section is shiny black. The body is a solid piece without an end cap or end cap ring.
