Overview

Namiki Emperor Urushi Lacquer Vermilion No.50 Fountain Pen in nº50 vermilion.

Namiki Urushi fountain pen: a hand-turned urushi lacquer body with Nº50 Vermilion urushi lacquer. The workshop that finishes these pens is Kokkokai formed in 1931 around Gonroku Matsuda who went on to be named a living national treasure and whose name or that of the individual artisan is inscribed on the piece. The lacquer is applied by hand with the tame-nuri technique, so each piece is unique in its grain. It writes with a Namiki nib in 18k gold, filled by eyedropper and a screw-on cap. The piece measures 174.1 mm capped with a body 17.2 mm in diameter. Finished with a clip gold. Hand-crafted Namiki product, with official warranty.

The Emperor collection brings back the oversized No. 50 nib fountain pen from the early 1930s, known as "No.50 Jumbo." The ink stop function is also the same as the original. The beauty is enhanced by using oil-free lacquer for the final layer and a polishing method called "Roiro Urushi Shiage (oil-free lacquer finish)," where the process involves repeatedly rubbing raw lacquer after polishing with a special charcoal.

Questions & Answers

Is the nib interchangeable between sizes?

All variants share the same body and only the nib size changes.

What filling system does it use?

It is filled by eyedropper; the makers own cartridges or converter are recommended to ensure a proper fit.

How is the lacquer cared for?

Wipe it with a soft dry cloth, avoiding solvents and prolonged direct sun.

Is each piece identical?

No, the finish is applied by hand, so the grain varies from one example to the next.

I’ve seen bigger pens but…

I’ve never impressed by any nib on that level, the feeling is shockingly impressive as you’re meeting with an emperor!! As an urushi craftsman, I can say the work is minimal and just perfect especially on the knob part. Most of the reviews doesn’t mention the knob in detail but I believe this needs more attention. You can arrange the ink flow rate from there which will change eventually the colour and size of your lines depending on the ink type for sure. I was criticising being eye dropper but now I know why!
I’m so fascinated by this pen and wishing you to experience the same.

Dear Anil, thank you for your amazing review! We're thrilled with your enthusiasm and appreciation for this lovely pen. We appreciate your support and hope that others get to experience the same fascination. If you have any further questions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you again for your kind words!

Unglaublich schön

Ich habe wirklich viele Schreibgeräte, aber der Namini Emperor ist einfach klasse. Er ist anders als meine Montblanc Füller mit Feder F. Schreibt sich deutlich anders aber sehr präzise.

Auch die leichte flexibibilität der Feder lässt Spielraum für Linien variarionen.

Da ich bei Montblanc meistens Feder F nutze habe ich hier eine Feder M gekauft. Da die bei Namini feiner ausfallen. Daher bin ich sehr glücklich über die Wahl.

Der Füller ist wirklich groß, daher nichts für die Brusttasche im Hemd, aber dafür umso bequeme beim schreiben.

Hallo, vielen Dank für Ihren Kommentar. Namiki ist definitiv eine unserer Lieblingsmarken, die Qualität der Feder kann sich sehen lassen und ihre Designs sind einzigartig. Bitte zögern Sie nicht, uns bei Fragen zu Ihrem Stift zu kontaktieren, wir helfen Ihnen gerne weiter.

Excellent service from Iguanasell. Pen is amazing. Very smooth writer and comfortable to hold. It's definitely not a novelty item as I have written pages and pages at a time with it.
