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.
Izumo-no-kuni (Izumo Province) is a production area for Japanese paper, making it extremely profound when it comes to writing. Shunichi Nakata, founder of Platinum Pen, christened the new brand name of “Izumo” in 2010 with the cooperation of officials from Izumo City in Shimane Prefecture to acknowledge the birthplace of the company as Shimane in Izumo-no-kuni. The brand has also been designated as one of the “Izumo brands” recognized by Izumo City.
