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.
All variants share the same body and only the nib size changes.
It is filled by eyedropper; the makers own cartridges or converter are recommended to ensure a proper fit.
Wipe it with a soft dry cloth, avoiding solvents and prolonged direct sun.
No, the finish is applied by hand, so the grain varies from one example to the next.
