ABOUT THE PEN:

The Namiki Emperor Urushi is not just a fountain pen — it is a symbol of Japanese artistry, tradition, and writing excellence. Handcrafted by skilled artisans, this pen features the signature Urushi lacquer finish, applied in multiple layers over ebonite and polished to a deep, mirror-like sheen. The result is a rich, elegant surface that becomes even more beautiful with time and use.

Its commanding size, coupled with an impressive No. 50 18k gold nib, delivers an unmatched writing experience — smooth, bold, and expressive. Despite its size, the pen is incredibly well-balanced, designed for those who appreciate the slower, intentional rhythm of writing by hand.

The Emperor Urushi represents Namiki’s dedication to traditional craftsmanship and attention to detail. Whether admired as a collector’s piece or used as a daily writing instrument, it offers a sense of quiet luxury and profound respect for the written word.

This is not simply a pen — it’s a legacy.
