The Platinum Izumo fountain pen is an outstanding example of Japanese craftsmanship. Each Izumo fountain pen is turned from ebonite, then coated with multiple layers of urushi and polished to a mirror-like shine, all by hand.
The large 18k, two-tone gold nib is available in six widths: UEF, EF, F, M, B, and Coarse (BB).
Each Platinum Izumo fountain pen is packaged in a wooden box with a pen kimono and includes a single cartridge and converter. Also included is a scroll of fountain pen paper.
The Platinum Pen Company was born in Shimane, Izumo-no-kuni. Company founder Shunichi Nakata christened the “Izumo” collection of fountain pens in 2010 with the blessing of city officials and to acknowledge the company’s origins. The city has in turn recognised the Platinum Izumo as one of the city’s designated “Izumo brands”.
The history of Urushi lacquer goes back to the Stone Age.
The timeless art of Urushi has for centuries brought to life the intricate depth of Japanese history and culture.

I have waited for this pen to be part of my collection for a couple of years now. I finally pulled the trigger on this purchase, so glad I did! It’s worth every penny! Stunning to see in person, the depth of color is hard to describe, it just invites you to keep looking deeper, then when you pick it up, it fits perfectly. If that’s not enough, that tune and smooth that Dan adds makes it write like it’s gilding across the smoothest glass. This will remain at the pinnacle of my collection for a very long time.
Thank you Dan for a dream pen come true, I am one very happy pen geek.
