Platinum’s Izumo Yakumo Byakudan fountain pen layers silver-outlined clouds over ebonite in a brown urushi finish whose color develops with age.
A sea of clouds and sky stretches across the barrel, inspired by the cloud paintings on the ceiling of Izumo Shrine. Deep colors of urushi and silver outlines lend the maki-e scene its atmospheric character.
Byakudan refers to sandalwood used in kodo, the Japanese incense ceremony. The name recalls the color that the lacquer develops over time. Ebonite forms the body beneath the brown urushi finish.
The handmade Japanese pen writes with an 18k gold nib, closes with a screw-on cap, and accepts ink cartridges or the included converter for bottled ink.
