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 brand has also been designated as one of the “Izumo brands” recognized by Izumo City.
