It has been created using traditional weaving techniques used in Japanese bamboo crafts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBamboo has long been a part of Japanese culture, having been used for a variety of tools and decorations for thousands of years. Skilled traditional craftsmen have used 'torafudake' (tiger-spotted bamboo) to create the barrel of this pen. Firstly an oil removing process called 'aburanuki' is used, which provides durability and lustre to the surface. Then 'arawari' - cutting - the bamboo takes place. Each strip is cut to an even width during a process called 'habatori'. Finally, the strips are woven using a technique known as 'yokoajiro', which produces an inclined pattern which effectively shows off the range of colours in this type of bamboo. Urushi lacquer is added as a protective finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePresented in a silvery-coloured fabric pen pouch secured with a decorative tie and cloud charm. The pouch also contains a pocket to store an extra ink cartridge. The pen, a bottle of blue black ink, a cartridge and converter are all encased within a luxury paulownia wood box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Platinum","offers":[{"title":"Fine","offer_id":43185186013427,"sku":"PT56789-F","price":1424.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":43185186046195,"sku":"PT56789-M","price":1424.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Broad","offer_id":43185186078963,"sku":"PT56789-B","price":1424.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/6388\/4787\/products\/PT56789-ZZZ_Platinum-Izumo-Bamboo-Yokoajiro-Weave-Fountain-Pen_P1.jpg?v=1663766200","url":"https:\/\/cultpens.com\/en-us\/products\/platinum-izumo-bamboo-yokoajiro-weave-fountain-pen","provider":"Cult Pens","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
