{"product_id":"platinum-izumo-urushi-soratame-dark-green","title":"Platinum Izumo Urushi Soratame (Dark Green)","description":"\u003cp\u003eShape, surface, and simplicity. The dark green Izumo is a model that has been reduced to its simplest terms. With all the grace of a French curve, this pen is a study in subtle arcs. The cap profile is a smooth convex form which carries through to the barrel, where it turns concave before returning to a convex shape. Every surface is curved - there is not a straight line to be found.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mirror-like Heki-tamenuri urushi lacquer finish highlights the shape. This surface is built up with multiple layers of natural lacquer to a tremendously hard finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe clip, the only piece of trim exposed on the closed pen, does the two-fold job of quietly announcing the maker's name and holding the pen firmly in a pocket. This pen is a study in simplicity. It makes curves look easy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fit in the fingers perfectly follows the curves of this pen, and the metal screw-threads on the gripping-section offer traction for an easy hold. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eNote how the darker over-layer \"\"breaks\"\" on the edges to reveal the under-color. In time, as the urushi lacquer matures, more of this green under-layer will show. This process of maturation through time and usage is much appreciated in Japanese culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Izumo Urushi with gold trim comes standard with any of Platinum's full range of President series 18k two-tone nibs. The nib is firm without being stiff. This makes it a delight to write with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeautifully packaged in a wooden box lined with green velvet and with a green fabric folding pen kimono inside a mulberry paper cover, the pen comes complete with an ink converter, to fill from the bottle, as well as a starter ink cartridge. It also includes a scroll of fountain pen paper. Nothing has been forgotten.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Platinum","offers":[{"title":"Fine (F)","offer_id":43699912311079,"sku":"PLTM-PIZ-55000 #27 F","price":1020.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Medium (M)","offer_id":43699912343847,"sku":"PLTM-PIZ-55000 #27 M","price":1020.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Broad (B)","offer_id":43699912376615,"sku":"PLTM-PIZ-55000 #27 B","price":1020.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/0486\/9168\/files\/PlatinumIzumoUrushiDarkGreen.jpg?v=1717001394","url":"https:\/\/nibs-usa.com\/products\/platinum-izumo-urushi-soratame-dark-green","provider":"Nibs-USA.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
