Platinum Izumo Tamenuri Akatame (Red) Fountain Pen

The Izumo Tamenuri is the flagship model from Platinum Pen, representing the very best of traditional Japanese artistry. A silent, profound beauty is imbued in this pen through Tamenuri, a traditional Japanese technique that involves applying multiple layers of Shuai Urushi (a vermilion-toned base lacquer).

At first glance, the barrel is enveloped in a deep, dark hue. However, when held up to the light, the base color lacquer subtly shines through the layers. The greatest feature of this depth and luster is that, as the semi-transparent top coat becomes increasingly clear with time, the underlying base color will vividly emerge. The thick, voluminous ebonite body, coupled with the moist feel of the urushi lacquer, ensures that the pen will grow in affection the more you use it, enhanced by the beautiful change in color.

We are pleased to introduce the new Rhodium Finish model, alongside the Gold Finish type that has been a long-time favorite. While the Gold Finish model is characterized by its splendor, the cool, achromatic metal tones of the Rhodium Finish beautifully complement and enhance the deep colors of the urushi lacquer.

Experience the beautiful depth of the urushi, which seems to draw you in. We invite you to hold this masterpiece, breathing with Japanese tradition, in your own hands.
