NOTE: THIS PEN WILL SHIP DIRECTLY FROM THE DISTRIBUTOR AS LONG AS THEY HAVE THEM IN STOCK. IF YOU ORDER OTHER ITEMS THEY WILL SHIP SEPARATELY.

  1. Design and Craftsmanship:

    • The main feature of this fountain pen is its barrel, which is meticulously woven from hand-cut bamboo strips. These strips are carefully arranged in an inclined pattern called yokoajiro.
    • The bamboo weave is then coated with natural urushi lacquer, adding a lustrous finish to the surface and creating a dignified appearance.
  2. Nib and Writing Experience:

    • The pen features an 18k gold nib available in fine (F), medium (M), and broad (B) sizes.
    • Writers appreciate its characteristic Platinum feedback, which strikes a balance between being neither too dry nor too wet.
    • Despite its shorter length (137 mm capped, 118 mm uncapped), it remains comfortable for most hands, even when unposted.
  3. Models and Artistry:

    • The Izumo Collection offers several exquisite models:
      • Izumo Raden (Galaxy): A stunning work of art made up of thousands of hand-laid pieces of raden (inlayed sea shells) covered with seven layers of urushi lacquer on an ebonite Izumo body. The pen is completed with an 18k gold nib.
      • Takisansui: Depicts a splendid image of a waterfall running through a valley using the taka maki-e technique.
      • Hama no Matsu: Represents Japanese landscaping of pine shores and ocean waves with rich depth.
      • Urokomon: Boldly drawn kiccho pattern (scale pattern) using hira maki-e technique.
      • Aurora: Incorporates varied lively designs of raden, expressing the beauty of the aurora.
  4. Specifications:

    • Length: 154 mm (134 mm when writing) × 18 mm (max. diameter)
    • Weight: 34.1 g
    • Comes in a box made of paulownia wood.
