Platinum Izumo Urushi Byakudan
The fourth in the Platinum Izumo series and a follow-up to the highly popular Platinum Izumo Yagumonuri, the Platinum Izumo Byakudan Ocean of Clouds fountain pen commemorates Izumo Taisha's Dai-Sengu ritual with a motif of a sea of clouds.
The Platinum Izumo Byakudan Ocean of Clouds Limited Edition fountain pen is made available with your choice of solid gold 18k nib.
This sacred Buddhist ritual is dedicated to the gods believed to have created Japan and its origins, and the clouds are a symbol of Izumo.
The Izumo Byakudan Ocean of Clouds fountain pen has a full form with soft, curved lines and a tapered shape. The long gripping section includes a threaded ring for a secure connection with the cap. It also offers a pleasant traction for the fingers and thumb when writing. This is a large, full-bodied pen - though big in the hand, it is not overly heavy. The pen uses Platinum's reliable cartridges, or can be filled with bottled ink with the included converter. Hand-painted Maki-e converters are also available.
These Yagumo, or "thick clouds", are drawn on the ceiling of the Izumo Taisha shrine. The motif evokes images of the creation story of Japan.
