About the Platinum Izumo-tamenuri

The Platium Izumo-tamenuri fountain pens are made from multiple coats of Urushi lacquer. This ancient process dates back to the stone age and has been perfected over time by experienced craftsman. The beautiful urushi lacquer finish will become richer and more beautiful overtime.

Platinum Izumo-tamenuri Video Script

This is the Platinum Izumo fountain pen. It comes in a nice sturdy wood box. That's the logo on the top I am assuming, I don't read Japanese. The top of the box lid lifts off and inside we have the fountain pen along with the other items that are included. We have a piece of paper that is included with it. Note: The paper is no longer included with the pen. Also the Kimono wrap color and style may vary.

It is a cartridge converter style pen, so one ink cartridge and the converter is included with the pen. Platinum has the proprietary cartridges, so you have to use their cartridge or converter. And there is also a Japanese-style carrying case. This simply unwraps, you can slide your pen in, and wrap the pen and put the little piece of bone in to hold the top of the case shut. Also included with the pen is the Use and Care Guide for the pen.

This is the Platinum Izumo fountain pen. This pen is made of Urushi lacquer. It is a nice, shiny, glossy finish. And it has a gold clip on the pen. You can see the Platinum logo there at the top of the clip and just a small, thin gold band that is almost hidden inside the top of the cap that holds the clip on.

The cap is threaded and unscrews and it comes with an 18 karat gold nib. You can see the President logo engraved on the nib of the pen and you can see the feed there on the backside. To change the ink on the pen, you simply unscrew that grip section from the barrel of the pen and then you can insert either the cartridge or the converter, whichever you would prefer.

Great looking fountain pen. I like the weight and the balance of the pen. You can be posted if you would like to but it is really not meant to and doesn't stay on well. I think that it is a little top-heavy with that post in and it's big enough to write without the pen posted. Great looking fountain pen. Really like the way it looks and writes.

The Platinum Izumo polished ebonite pen is a real treat to use, the tactile warmth of the ebonite/urushi, smoothness of the nib, and the goodly size of the pen, make for a wonderful writing experience. I was lucky enough to get mine on sale, otherwise I might have hesitated to take the plunge, but having done so, would not hesitate to recommend the investment, I do not think you will be disappointed.

Just a beautiful pen. Understated, but so smooth in the hand, and very smooth on paper. No urushi pen is going to be cheap, but Platinum does a very nice job on their Izumos, so the price seems fair.

A beautiful fountain pen. I have a fine nib, and it has become my favorite to write with. The craftsmanship is just exquisite. I like the understated look of the pen. A bit of warning, it is recommended by the Platinum not to post the pen,as this may mar the finish of the barrel. Otherwise, a true gem!

The first pen I received did not write well and was extremely scratchy. I think that must have been an aberration as every Japanese pen I have ever bought has been perfect out of the box. Perhaps, that is just my experience. I called Pen Chalet and spoke to Ron who offered to send me another one without first receiving the original one he had sent me. I would not expect Pen Chalet or other pen retailers to offer this type of solution. Ron and his staff went beyond my expectations and that is why I have been a repeat customers for many years. Fantastic Service!

The pen is a beautiful writing instrument. The urushi finish is just gorgeous. I bought one with the broad nib and it writes very smoothly. I would say that it is a bit toothier than a comparable Pilot or Sailor nib, but it is a joy to use nonetheless.

This is not just a high quality fountain pen from a great brand. This pen is the epitome of beauty! When you hold this pen you know great craftsmanship went into this pen. The urushi lacquer is magnificent and gives this pen a luxurious feeling and heft. The nib is fantastic I wish platinum would provide a larger nib to match the size of this pen but the nib is still fantastic!!

A:
The pen is black with a slight red on the edges. The video may was of the solid black version of the pen but the pen and packages are the same.
