Platinum Izumo Fountain Pen. The barrel is hand-made from tagayasan (Bombay Blackwood), a variety of rosewood. This is given a finish of Urushi lacquer - one of the most traditional of Japanese techniques. Urushi is a natural lacquer and five coats are each painstakingly applied, allowed to harden and polished in turn. A final coat is wax-polished, rubbed with pulp paper and oil-polished - all repeated three times. The resulting rich, deep finish is highly prized and can be seen on many Japanese craft pieces.
The 18k gold bi-colour nib is the usual supreme Platinum quality.
Izumo is presented in a wooden giftbox imprinted with the Izumo logo and includes a special fabric pen pouch. Please note that the pouch may diiffer in design from what appears in the photograph.
Uses Platinum ink cartridges or fit a converter for use with bottled ink. Platinum recommends Platinum Fountain Pen Ink, though of course any quality bottled ink can be used.
154mm long, 18mm diameter and 34.5g in weight. Platinum recommends that you do not post the cap on the barrel when writing as this can damage the lacquer.
Please note: the colour of the grip band is undergoing a transition from gold to black. If you have a preference for a particular colour, please contact the Customer Service team.
