The Platinum Izumo Fountain Pen in Tagayasan (Bombay Black Wood) is a true masterpiece, combining exquisite Japanese craftsmanship with elegant design. Here are the key features of this remarkable fountain pen:
-
Body Material: The barrel is meticulously handcrafted from Tagayasan, also known as Bombay Blackwood, which is a variety of rosewood. This choice of wood gives the pen a unique and luxurious appearance.
-
Nib: The large 18k gold nib is available in three widths: Fine (F), Medium (M), and Broad (B). The nib is not only functional but also adds to the pen’s aesthetic appeal.
-
Finish: Unlike other pens in the Izumo range, the matte Tagayasan version doesn’t have a traditional Urushi lacquer coating. Instead, it receives a delicately-applied wax coating that beautifully highlights the wood grain.
-
Slip and Seal Cap Mechanism: Platinum’s signature feature ensures that the nib remains moist and ready to write even after long periods of disuse—up to a year! No more dried-out nibs.
-
Ink Options: The pen comes with one blue-black ink cartridge, and it also includes a converter for using bottled ink.
-
Packaging: Each Platinum Izumo fountain pen is elegantly packaged in a wooden box, complete with a pen kimono. It’s a presentation fit for such a fine writing instrument.
-
Warranty: The pen comes with a one-year warranty card.
Note: While the pen cap can be posted, doing so may damage the pen’s finish, so it’s advisable to avoid posting it.
The Izumo collection pays homage to the city of Izumo, the birthplace of Platinum’s founder. It’s a celebration of Japanese heritage and craftsmanship, making each pen a work of art that deserves admiration.
If you appreciate the fusion of tradition, aesthetics, and functionality, the Platinum Izumo Fountain Pen in Tagayasan is a splendid choice for your writing endeavors.
