- This is no joke the Emperor among fountain pens - as simple as it is, nothing can get you ready for its size, elegance and exuberant urushi lacquerware finishes and that size 50 18k gold nib, but this video at least its trying.

Your passion for and enjoyment of this pen shine through and are contagious! Thanks for sharing it with us!
Thank you very much Scot! Although most of you are familiar with the caliber of pens in my collection - this one has been a veri big and nice surprise from day 1
I feel like I havent seen your channel before and i don't know how. Very great production, presentation, and enthusiasm! This is my grail pen, thank you for sharing with us!
Thank you so so much - it is my pleasure to showcase this one with everyone :D
There’s only three people that I know that has a Namiki Emperor are SBREBrown, David Parker at Figboot On Pens and Adam the Ink Guy (but he has a black one).

It certainly is ‘an emperor of a pen’! And I hope that you’re truly grateful for the gift someone had sent you! Please enjoy it with passion…
Thank you Hari :D there are a few of them out in the wild, for sure the first time I've seen one in a video was on SBREBrown channel and then on David Parker's channel - super happy with mine
"It shouldn't be this expensive... but it is." :)
:)) that's left intentionally out from the "it shouldn't be..." list :))
That pen looks truly majestic. Congratulations Emy and enjoy it! :)
Thanks so much Pavel! I've been quite busy these days and couldn't get my answer to our conversation :D enjoy your new shiny blue pen my dear friend
This is an amazing pen for sure! The only negative for me is that they are known to become much darker in color over time, which some might enjoy but I prefer the bright cherry red.
This is known and seen over time on some other people's Vermilion finish. Some get to be orange in the end, I guess if I was presented with a Orange version one I wouldnt go for it, but with graduate fading and slowly evolving into something like that, I guess I can give it a pass :D
Great review, as always. This is a great pen on many levels. I ordered mine back in February and still waiting for it to arrive - hopefully soon. Stay well.
Hope you enjoy it! I was very pleased with the experience once I got it :D - like the name says - it will rule your pen case this Emperor
Big thumbs up Emy! Awesome review of a very very special pen.
Thanks so much! I like it a lot - been using it a lot also since the review was recorded
very beautiful hand writhing ! nice pen !
thank you so so much :D
Beautiful video Emy. The Namiki Emperor is indeed a great work of art. For most owners it is their GRAIL pen. I have the Namiki Yukari Royale in both Vermilion and Black. One has a F nib and other M nib. They are the siblings of the Emperor and the size is perfect for me. I think for your daily writing you should consider one Yukari Royale. Besides the nib of Sailor King of Pen, Pilot nibs are the best in the world. Please also try the Pilot Custom 845 Urushi. It again is awesome. Anyway thanks for the video. Its so well made.
Hey there K :D thank you for your feedback - since I had the " Emperor " experience, now I need to check its siblings and I want to see how the Yukari is feeling since its a metal body :D Im expecting this coming week some new pieces from Pilot - just as a spoiler - Japanese Exclusives :D (that is all I can tell for now) :D
@@pen.venture That is wonderful Emy. Sounds exciting. Waiting for updates and videos from you.
@@pen.venture OOOOOOOOOHhh!
Thank you so much for fine review. May I add that I believe the feed is actually plastic - not ebonite - and coated with urushi. Forgive me if I am mistaken.
Hey there Emma, im not sure about this, but considering how expensive it is, I think it is ebonite but I dont know for sure :D ill ask around
Thanks for that great review 😍👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for watching! Im happy it was useful :D
Great review. Thank you
Thanks for watching! :D Namiki Emperor is a really impressive pen
Thank you for this review! Like you, I’m drawn to the colour of this pen. Does it only come in the one size? Thanks again, Nick
Thank you Nicholas, Emperor is the size I presented - I think that something in a smaller size but similar is Namiki Yukari Vermilion Urushi - what is different is that is made of metal and urushi lacquered and yes - it is smaller than the Emperor - keep in mind that the Emperor is made of ebonite and urushi lacquered
@@pen.venture thank you! I love the style/colour but it’s ways too big!
Can I ask what the book you are writing is? Love the design / idea
that is a Hobonichi notebook from Japan :D
Do you need to keep the piston value always open while writing ?
:D its not needed but if I want more wetness ... I keep it open
Interested in getting one only concern is the size for daily use. If you can get 1 pen what one would you go for ?
Dont be shy... as big as it is, it's strangely practical .... its weight is not as imposing and its ergonomic factor is high, carrying it is a bit of a challenge because it requires a special carry accessory and it needs a lot of care to not drop it or leave it unattended - it will find someone that nicks it if its left on a table unattended its like eye candy
What lighting do you use for writing at your desk at night?
Hey Thomas - I use a recording light bi color (warm-cold light) - a giant soft box with a LED lamp
great review... great pen... though English is not your natural language, you did many times better than those who do... cheers
Thank you! Cheers! :)) that is very... uplifting to say so :D thank you and I wish to only get better with my vocabulary and to be articulated enough for the review quality to simply shine
@@pen.venture u are just fine.. ur vocabulary is already awesome.. and always keep the accent.... sounds so cool... cheers brother... subscribed and liked... I love my Vermillion Emperor...
Nice pen! As you know I love my Namiki Emperor pens! No. 50 technically, but who is counting? Would only take a few weeks to make. Regardless, the vermilion emperor is a very special pen and super fun to use. Good writer for an enormous pen.
Hey there Jon :D It is a very basic and simple pen but nothing can prepare you for the initial shock when you get to see it and to write with :D
Do you feel this writes like a western medium the way you have it adjusted?
Indeed - now its like a Leonardo medium that is adjusted to run smooth and very wet
@@pen.venture Thank you, this helps me a lot. I was going for a line close to a Montblanc medium. I feel I will go for an Emperor-M and have it adjusted rather than getting a B-nib.
@Pen Venture - Please suggest a black ink for this pen………. An ink that will suit the way this nib is.
hmmmm my top favourite black inks : Aurora black / Pilot Black / Sailor Manyo Chingaya
@@pen.venture Thank you
@@pen.venture What’s the difference between the Pilot Black ink and the Namiki Black which comes in UFO shaped bottle??? Are they both same in different shaped bottles??
I don't know why I'm here but I'm sure i cannot afford that pen nor know how to use it
:D it is just a pen - put ink in it and writes :D it just looks and sounds complicated
Such a beautiful pen. But it's way too expensive for me to buy.
It’s beautiful indeed but it comes with its Emperor pricing
@@pen.venture
Yeah, I'm new to this hobby. I have a TWSBI Eco and have ordered a Pilot Custom 823. Hopefully, as my hobby and as well as I grow, I will be able to afford this beautiful Emperor pen.
@@Lovepreet_Singh93good choice jumping to the 823 so soon. IMO there’s no point in collecting a punch of low tier pens for the sake of just having them.
@@AreaCode4hoe8
Yeah, that was my initial thought as well. Instead of accumulating low-quality pens, I decided to invest in a nice pen. Currently, I am saving money to purchase a Lamy Dialogue cc.
@@AreaCode4hoe8
Yeah, I too thought that instead of buying a bunch of low-quality pens, I jumped the line and got myself a nice pen. Now, I am saving money for the Lamy Dialog cc.
Forgot to mention Emy. This pen is barely portable! :D :D :D
:)) we can say this .... when we will have something similar
@Pen Venture I still pocket it and take it to work. Some people think it is ridiculous. I tell them, it is a fountain pen thing, you wouldn't understand! 😀
It annoys me that eyedropper Danitrios are not nearly as carefully made, but are quite a bit more expensive, even in the most basic finishes (which almost always have some flaws, no one does solid urushi as well as Pilot/Namiki and Nakaya). Namiki should make tamenuri emperors...
hmmm im partly agreeing with this, although I have many danitrio in these plain colors that leaked, some more than others. I have some ideas like going to a store where they have so many o rings sizes and types for anything under the sun, maybe trying to make something of a improvement for the seal on the barrel, but the fine fitting and details of the namiki prevails anyway
@@pen.venture I picked up a Mikado a month ago, no leaks yet, knock on wood. However, I did put a serious amount of silicone grease everywhere and the mechanism still doesn't feel nearly as good as the emperor.
It is strange because sometime they work without a single issues and out of nowhere - Ink :))
My Grail!
Same on this side :D
I find it interesting that the Japanese are so fond of fountain pens considering they can't write in cursive with those characters they use.
:D thye have a different approach on so many things - and pens is really a world of its own for them
Eyedropper system doesn’t work well. You must write with a part of the pen unscrew! This pen seems too big for being comfortable ! Aesthetically looks very bad😢 I can't believe you like it😮
:)) I cant believe you dont like a fully working pen that looks and feels so nice as this Emperor - after all, this pen is clearly not for everyone :D that what makes it great for me and many that actually get these pens, they like to be unique... and also they dont mind opinions that are contrary to theirs
$2100 in 2024 may if anyone wondering
:D thats right!
