Platinum Izumo fountain pen Tame-Nuri Aka

The shape of the Izumo fountain pen from Platinum is extremely classic, but still very unique: the round cigar shape is slightly bulbous at the cap and has a narrow waist at the pen barrel. This creates a very balanced and hand-flattering shape. All Tame-Nuri models are painted using the classic Urushi technique. The semi-transparent Urushi lacquer is repeatedly applied and polished in many layers. By adding additional pigments, it gets a second shimmer of color in addition to the original dark red of the Urushi. Especially on the edges of the fountain pen, the layers are so thin that you can see these different colored pigment layers shining through. As Urushi becomes more and more transparent over time, this effect increases.

Like all Platinum fountain pens, the Izumo is a cartridge fountain pen for the special cartridges from our own company. We supply this fountain pen with a converter so that it can be used independently at any time.

There are three different nib strengths to choose from: the 18K gold nibs produced in-house are available in F, M and B. It should be noted here that these Japanese nib sizes are always slightly finer than the comparable European nib sizes.
