Description
The Platinum Izumo Urushi Soratame fountain pen is one of the most striking in this series from Platinum. This is a fountain pen suitable for a lifetime of writing and beyond.
“Sora” has the connotation of “sky blue” in Japanese, but the underlying base urushi color here is more a luminous green than a blue. Both green and blue colors can be challenging to produce in traditional layered tamenuri lacquers, but the artisans engaged by Platinum have succeeded in creating a finish that is both consistent and astonishingly beautiful in appearance. That underlying luminous green will grow more prominent in time as the outer layers of darker urushi lacquer slowly mature and grow less opaque.
The Izumo utilizes a cartridge-converter filling system. The pen can be filled with any bottled fountain pen ink by using the provided reusable converter – we particularly recommend Platinum’s own bottled inks, available in a variety of colors and in both dye and pigment-based formulations. The pen can also fill using convenient disposable Platinum brand ink cartridges. Platinum uses a proprietary filling system – only Platinum brand converters and cartridges can be used in Platinum fountain pens.
Our free nib tuning sees to it that your Izumo Urushi Soratame is writing properly and is tuned to the specifications you provide. Our optional nib customizations can add uniqueness and calligraphic styling to the writing you produce on the page. The Broad or Medium nibs will give the best results for customizations such as Architects Point and Cursive Italic, while the Fine nib provides an excellent choice for everyday writing and note-taking.
Each pen ships in a special traditionally-styled presentation box which includes instructions, the converter, and a starter ink cartridge. PacificPenWorks is an authorized retailer of Platinum, which has been producing writing instruments of high quality and memorable beauty since 1919.
