I haven’t created a pen porn post on a non-new pen in quite a while. So, today I present to you my glorious Platinum Izumo Kurikara-ken. It depicts a scene of the epic battle between Fudo Myo-o — whose name means the immovable or unshakable one — one of the Five Great Wisdom Kings of Japanese Buddhism, and a threatening dark demon. As the struggle progresses, Fudo Myo-o transforms himself into Kurikara, his own sword, in order to do battle with the demon. When the demon also transforms into a sword, Fudo Myo-o then transforms into a dragon to swallow and destroy him. It is this conclusion that the pen shows.
I don’t have much to say about this pen, other than it’s absolutely phenomenal. The nib is fabulous. The shape is comfortable to hold. And there’s a dragon. It’s virtually perfect.
Thank you for reading until the end. Do you own a Kurikara-Ken or any of the Platinum Izumo-shaped pens? Do you want one? Let me know in the comments! I’d love to hear from you.

It is indeed a marvelous and stunning pen. And not only because it has a dragon. I have one for about 3 years now and I still don’t regret the purchase.
We got ours around the same time! I got mine in August 2019.
