Platinum x Maruzen Shishikura “Ouka” (2023)
Pen Doctor Kiyoko Shishikura regularly hosted “Pen Clinics” at Maruzen department stores. For several years she released Sailor special editions to commemorate these Pen Clinics in collaboration with the brand Sunrise Trading Co. These Sailor editions are extremely hard to find (particularly the older editions) and very beautiful. In 2023 Shishikura announced her departure from Sunrise Trading Co. to work for Tono and Lims, a colorful ink brand. But in September, she announced a surprise Platinum x Maruzen collaboration.
Description
In September 2023 Shishikura announced a surprise collaboration with Platinum to make a special edition 3776 Century for Maruzen. Limited to 300pcs, this 3776 features an orangey pink body (representing the sakura blossom) with golden sakura flowers painted on the body and converter. The section is a sparkly brown to represent the sakura tree trunk.
