To celebrate, Platinum created the Yagumonuri which features a sea of clouds, the symbol of Izumo. These Yagumo—thick clouds—are drawn on the ceiling of the Taisha shrine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, 'sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;\"\u003eNumerous processes are involved in the time-consuming and delicate practice of Yagumonuri, where a pattern drawn in bright, colored lacquer is sprinkled with metal or colored powder (maki-e) and then overlain with several coats of transparent lacquer. As time passes, the lacquer becomes increasingly transparent and the pattern really starts to emerge, changing into a deep, rich pattern within a glossy finish. This gives it a mysterious feel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, 'sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, 'sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;\"\u003eThe motif of the pattern is a sea of clouds, the symbol of Izumo. The profound expressiveness of Yagumonuri completes an awe-inspiring tone. Our aim is for the pen to make you think of the myths surrounding the creation of Japan each time you hold it\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Platinum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50194535153958,"sku":"DL2-020_17353585","price":1095.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0002\/8573\/6972\/files\/uim4oITSr2.jpg?v=1740617347","url":"https:\/\/thepleasureofwriting.sbs\/products\/platinum-izumo-maki-e-fountain-pen-yagumonuri","provider":"The Pleasure of Writing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
