Overview
Handwoven bamboo gives the Platinum Izumo Bamboo Ankokushoku fountain pen its dark, textured surface and subtle play of light and shade.
Traditional craftspeople prepare the bamboo before weaving it over a POM resin body. After removing the oil, they cut the bamboo into strips of even width, dye them, and work them into the gozame pattern. A final sabiurushi coating brings out the light and shade of the pitch-dark Ankokushoku finish.
The pen has an 18k gold nib and a screw-on cap, and accepts cartridges or a converter for bottled ink. Its original set includes a converter, blue-black bottled ink and a cartridge, and a paulownia wood box. The silver fabric pen bag has a decorative cord closure, a cloud charm, and a pocket for a spare cartridge.
Made in Japan, it measures 136.5 mm capped with a 15 mm barrel width and weighs 30 g with the cap.
