As with the previous version, the body is decorated with six traditional and elegant Japanese patterns using a unique Japanese technique called modern Maki-e. Each pattern has a special auspicious meaning, and you can choose your favorite one based on the design and meaning.
The Preppy has been popular since its release in 2007 as a low-priced fountain pen that provides an authentic writing experience. The stainless steel nib with a special alloy point that is resistant to wear is the best quality in this price range. The Preppy is equipped with a “Slip & Seal mechanism” that prevents the ink from drying out even after a year with the cap closed. You can write it down anytime, so you won't feel stressed.
In China, the kanji for bat has the same sound as ”turning into good fortune,” so it is considered an auspicious pattern that symbolizes good fortune and longevity. Japan was also influenced by this and was
seen as a symbol of happiness during the Heian period.
