The expert’s opinion: if perfection had a name, it would be Izumo. At first glance, you are immediately seduced by its elegance and finesse. Then, when you hold it in your hand, its touch offers a pleasant sensation since the layers of urushi lacquer make it extremely soft. Finally, when you let the nib run over the paper, you are almost ecstatic, so much you are conquered by its smoothness. The Izumo is without doubt one of the most beautiful pieces ever created.

Description

Izumo Tamenuri Akatame fountain pen by Platinum – a sublime model for splendid writing

The Izumo, which refers to the Japanese city of the same name, is without doubt one of the brand’s most beautiful models. Its ravishing, sensual silhouette makes it a unique and recognisable among all fountain pen. Made of ebonite, it is coated with urushi lacquer, using the tame-nuri technique.

This consists of applying a first layer of coloured lacquer, in this case red, and then applying several layers of transparent, amber or even black lacquer, so that the lower layer becomes visible.

Over time, with exposure to light, the top layers of lacquer will lighten to reveal more of the underlying colour. You could say that Izumo becomes more beautiful with the passage of time. Each layer of lacquer must dry before the next is applied. Including the polishing process, the creation of such a fountain pen requires several months of work.

The trims of the Izumo are gold-plated, including the beautiful clip engraved with the brand name and echoing the silhouette of the Izumo.

Its nib:

The nib is made from 18-carat gold and is available in F, M and B sizes. Platinum has just changed the engraving on its nib (it’s even more beautiful!), which is no longer two-coloured but yellow gold in colour. The nib shown in the photo no longer corresponds to reality. Please refer to the Soratame model.

The Izumo Tamenuri Akatame fountain pen by Platinum is supplied with its converter, the metal part of which is plated with 24 carat gold, a cartridge and a kimono case. It will be delivered to you in a beautiful wooden box, set on a green velvet cloth.

Caution: we advise against leaving the Izumo in direct sunlight, as UV rays can damage the colour of the lacquer. Daylight is perfectly suitable.

    Un stylo plume d’exception qui mérite chaque euro dépensé. La plume est typiquement japonaise et donc plus fine que les plumes européennes ou américaines. Par contre elle est vraiment rigide il faut donc s’y habituer.

    Il s’agissait d’un cadeau qui a beaucoup plu à la récipiendaire. De fait il est juste magnifique ; une véritable œuvre d’art. Si vous aimez les stylos d’exception, ce stylo est fait pour vous.

      C’est l’effet Izumo, une des plus belles pièces au monde 😉
      Merci pour ce retour, cher Eric !
      Quelle chance a la récipiendaire d’avoir reçu un tel cadeau 🙂

    Magnifique et remarquable stylo-plume dont je suis très heureux d’avoir fait l’acquisition, même si sa plume est un peu rigide à mon goût.

      Merci infiniment d’avoir donné votre avis, Alain Pierre !
      Il est vrai que la plume de l’Izumo est rigide, contrairement à celle des 3776 Century qui est plutôt souple. Et quand on a l’habitude des plumes souples, cela peut surprendre.
      J’ai depuis ouï dire que vous avez su l’apprivoiser en un rien de temps et nous en sommes très heureux 😉

      Merci à vous, Monsieur Voltz ! L’Izumo est en effet une pièce de collection exceptionnelle.
      Nous sommes très heureux que vous ayez choisi notre boutique pour l’acquérir 🙂

  5. E

    Un stylo qui frise la perfection. L’écriture, la beauté, la finition, la plume … tout est parfait. Les conseils de Nibs Plus Ultra m’ont permis de choisir, à distance, la bonne plume. Je suis comblé.

    Cette expérience d’achat est inoubliable.

    A propos, comment faites-vous pour réaliser un emballage “papier cadeau” avec ces pliages aussi parfaits ? Je ne cite pas l’enveloppe cachetée, votre mot rédigé à la main et tout le reste … Franchement, faire mieux serait indécent.

    Merci la Dream Team Nibs Plus Ultra !

      C’est nous qui vous remercions, cher Emmanuel, pour vos compliments et votre gentillesse.
      Ce fut un plaisir d’emballer votre magnifique Izumo et nous sommes très heureux qu’il vous plaise autant.
      Vous êtes comblé, dites-vous ? Nous aussi 😉
      Au plaisir d’un prochain échange !
