Izumo brand encapsulates traditional Japanese craftsmanship. Platinum introduces the new "Precious Wood" series, featuring rare and highly valued woods.
This wood-barrel fountain pen is based on the concept of enjoying the beauty of the wood's unique "Moku" (heather: a rare and valuable pattern that appears due to the twists and bumps of the wood) and the aging of the wood barrel.
For the Izumo "Precious Wood" series have created a new form that allows you to the feel he texture of the material even more. By eliminating the step between the cap and the body, we have created a body with a sense of unity, and by internationally eliminating the clip, you can feel the texture of the wood-barrel even more.
By keeping the top coat to a minimum, you can enjoy the aging the wood-barrel. Since it is made of wood, the main body will get dents and scratches as you use it, but please enjoy it as it changes over time as a "nuturing foutain pen."
The 1st edition, "Karin-Kobu (Amboyna burl)"
The firest wood in the Izumo "Precious Wood" series is "Karin-Kobu (Amboyna burl)." Karin (Amboyna) is a plant that is distributed in Southeast Asia and South Asia, and the growths that form on the trunk or roots of trees, which rarely occur due to external factors, are called burl. The burl are interwined with irregular and complex patterns, creating swirling curves and ripple-like heather, which attracts the viewer's attention.
Karin-Kobu's beautiful heather
The heather is very beautiful, and the pattern created by the intricate wood grain can be said to be the beauty of nature's creation.
Burl may have knots, moth-eaten spots, or bark pockets, but those do not pose a problem when used as a fountain pen as long as it is finished as is. Enjoy the unique characteristics of natural wood fountain pen.
