Platinum Izumo Iro Urushi Fountain Pen - Budou Nezu
TheĀ Platinum Izumo Iro Urushi Fountain Pen -Ā Budou Nezu is part of a series of uniqueĀ IzumoĀ pens that is designed with minimal embellishments in order to highlight the luster and colors of the pigmented iro urushi lacquer. TheĀ metal parts such as the nib and clip all have a colorless rhodium finish which allows the unique color of the pen body to shine through.Ā Skilled craftsmen then create a unique smooth texture on the barrel and cap by polishing the lacquer until no brush marks remain. The Izumo Iro Urushi combines traditional techniques with a sleek, modern feel.
Budou NezuĀ was a popular color from the mid-Edo to the early Showa period, where it became known as "aristocratic gray" for itsĀ elegant hue. The color was often used for kimonos in ukiyo-e woodblock prints.
