Platinum Izumo Yakumonuri Fountain Pen Ginsen Yakumo

Platinum Izumo born in 2010 with the help of local craftsmen and the cooperation of officials from Izumo City in Shimane Prefecture. The name was chosen to acknowledge the birthplace of the founder Shunichi Nakata.

Made in ebonite, Platinum Izumo Yakumonuri Ginsen Yakumo features the floating clouds painted on the ceiling of Izumo Shrine. The sea of clouds is described brightly with colored urushi while the outlying has been drawn in silver to accentuate the design whereby the multi layers of colored urushi are brought to the surface.

Numerous processes are necessary in the delicate and time-consuming art of Ginsen-Yakumo. With time, urushi becomes increasingly more transparent, thus the pattern starts slightly to emerge, changing into a deeper and richer pattern within its glossy finish. This gives it a mysterious feel.

Platinum Izumo is equipped by a "President" 18 KT gold nib and accepts Platinum ink cartridge or Platinum converter (included) for filling the fountain pen via an ink bottle. The wooden box contains also a Kimono pen wrap.
