Namiki Emperor Urushi Red

[GonzoBernelli]

Does the pen come with its own Sherpa?

Great review...once you start writing with this pen you will find a 'regular' pen so 'irregular'.

 

Wow, writing with this kind of pen is truly an experience.

 

I'm honored to be one of the few lucky that could use it. Really!

Dear friend,

 

eh eh eh, "she's" not so heavy, when you write you just forget hers dimension but you go trough a black hole in the sky in a place without thought.

Dear friend,

 

you are right, also if I think a little bit different.

Drive this kind of pen is another way to discover in the fountian pen world.

The other pen are ... different.

 

I could not use it when I am around for exemple.

I carry with me my best Nakaya or the 149, not this piece of art.

 

This is on my desk, always ready to write.

 

Turn the tail and go!

[rubyeyespenlover]

Yikes... I didn't realize it until I looked around a little. MSRP is $1500?? I'd probably opt for a Nakaya instead. Although, if money wasn't an object, I'd probably get the Namiki. It is such an impressive looking pen.

 

 

I tried to buy it many time in the past.

For many years ...

Last December a friend of mine accepted my proposal and I bought it.

 

The price of this pen is not high, believe me.

 

This is a concentrate of technical details and exceptional work never seen before.

I become also happy by your emotion. The red color of urushi is so traditional in Japan that I have little interest

in the color. But now I have been attracted by the color. Thank you for your nice review.

I think it should be a very good thing that every Namiki Emperor Urushi Red, Black Vermilion put one pic of their pen in this review to share with us your pen.

A really nice review. I like this pen and although I do not own it, I do have the Yukari Royale, its smaller brother. In some ways this giant pen is more of a symbol representing the classic Japanese urushi eyedropper than it is an actual pen...I think this may not make sense but its kind of like when something becomes more than the sum of its parts.

 

There are many wonderful design aspects to this great pen and you've found two of them: (1) you have the earlier text on nib design that is classic and elegant. The new nibs have the Mount Fuji motif; and (2) the feed is very beautiful with its color coordinated finish. The only other pen I can recall with this similar color coordination of the feed was the Cardinal Waterman 58. Besides all of this your pen has a soul of hard rubber.

 

Thanks for sharing a special pen.

My eyes popped out when I saw your photos - I didn't know there could be such an attractive pen. Thank you so much for your review.

The heavy price tag is the reason why I could never buy this pen. Maybe some day, thanks for sharing the great review.

[rubyeyespenlover]

"The deisgn and the laquer is so perfect that you cannot see at all the cut line of the tail!

my emperor tells me it wants to play with your emperor!

This red colour puts me in mind of temples that I saw in Japan. Very nice.

I realize that this thread has grown a bit old, but I am compelled to ask: How does this pen write? It looks absolutely gorgeous and is a giant, but if one buys it not merely as a work of art but something with which to write, it would be great to hear about the experience of using it.
