Overview
Platinum Izumo "Kaga" Maki-e Fountain Pen in maki-e hama no matsu.
A hand-turned maki-e body with Maki-e Hama No Matsu urushi lacquer, with a 18k gold nib. Izumo is a place before it is a pen: one of the three old provinces that make up today's Shimane, whose great shrine gives several pieces in the line their cloud motifs. The lacquer is applied by hand with the tame-nuri technique, so each piece is unique in its grain. It writes with a Platinum nib in 18k gold, filled by cartridge / converter and a screw-on cap. The piece measures 154 mm capped with a body 18 mm in diameter. Hand-crafted Platinum product, with official warranty.
Taka maki-e technique is applied, in which after the urushi coating is applied over and over again, the proper powders are chosen out of several dozen types of gold and silver powders that are then sprinkled over the raised section. It provides an image of a representation of Japanese landscaping of the pine shore and the ocean waves with rich depth.

Questions & Answers
Is the nib interchangeable between sizes?
All variants share the same body and only the nib size changes.
What filling system does it use?
It is filled by cartridge / converter; the makers own cartridges or converter are recommended to ensure a proper fit.
What does Yakumo mean?
It is Japanese for the infinite clouds and it refers to the clouds painted on the ceiling of the Izumo shrine which give several models in this line their motif.
How is the lacquer cared for?
Wipe it with a soft dry cloth, avoiding solvents and prolonged direct sun.
Is each piece identical?
No, the finish is applied by hand, so the grain varies from one example to the next.
What warranty does it carry?
It includes 3 years of official Platinum warranty.
