Izumo Fountain Pen. The barrel is hand-made from tagayasan (Bombay Blackwood), a variety of rosewood. Unlike the other pens in the Izumo range, the matt tagayasan range doesn’t have a Urushi lacquer coating. Instead, the barrel receives a delicately-applied wax coating which brings out the beautiful grain of the wood.

The 18k gold bi-colour nib is the usual supreme quality.

Izumo is presented in a wooden giftbox imprinted with the Izumo logo and includes a special fabric pen pouch. Please note that the pouch may diiffer in design from what appears in the photograph.

Supplied with a converter for use with bottled ink. recommends Fountain Pen Ink, though of course any quality bottled ink can be used. Also takes ink cartridges.

154mm long, 18mm diameter and 34.5g in weight. recommends that you do not post the cap on the barrel when writing as this can damage the wax coating.

Please note: the colour of the grip band is undergoing a transition from gold to black. If you have a preference for a particular colour, please contact the Customer Service team.
