With my Emperors, I often skootch my index finger down onto the nib itself closer to the paper. I get ink on my finger, but that just increases my intimacy with the pen and ink. There is nothing I like better than seeing a bit of Yama Budo and Fuyu Gaki later in the day to remind me of my writing session. Emperors are on a different plane of existence from my other high-end pens, and I find them uniquely rewarding to write with, playing around with all angles and grips.

Hi Brian, funnily enough my very first Emperor ink fill was Yama Budo and I really enjoyed it, although that was when I discovered that my Rhodia paper often couldn't handle that combination and it tended to feather on parts of the paper. Different plane of existence is good, they are so different to pens with smaller nibs that they are difficult to really understand until using them in person.

Wow, amazing pens and interesting observations about writing with an Emperor.

I have had extensive experience with two no. 50 sized Namiki nibs and for me the best part of the writing experience is the section. Although it is very hefty, the section flares out just perfectly allowing for relatively good control given the size of the nib. The enormous size of the nib and feed can cause problems however, since it takes a moment for the ink flow to be established after the pen has been turned upwards during a writing-break.

Agree, I give it a few seconds for the ink to get into the right place. I also find the section really comfortable, more so than other very large sections without the flare.

@@jhs1710 What nib sizes where both nibs? :) In case one of them happened to be a Medium, how would you describe the line width, inkflow and writing experience? :)

@Herr Keks Both were Medium nibs. One was on the finer (closer to a western fine), dryer side. The other one was on the thicker (definitely a western medium), wetter side and had some hard starting.

@@jhs1710 Thank you for sharing your observations! :) That’s is something I would be worried about, the M nib to be more like a western F nib. I wouldn’t choose a B for a few differently reasons. …and obviously hard starts shouldn’t occur on a nib in this price-range. (May I add here, that I would wish for something that in range of a wet western Medium.) But some years will definitely pass by until I could seriously consider getting one. :)

You didn't hold the pens correctly (the right way!!!); therefore your writings look Ok but feel "WEAK".

@@ericpmoss yes, my writing angles are never great but in this case it was quite a stretch as the camera and especially the lens I use are quite large, which is why I added the 'slightly' better pre-written sample!

Is it necessary to open the back of the barrel before you write? or is it just to make sure the ink flows properly?
@JapansPerfectPens
3 жыл бұрын
Not necessary if you're just writing a few words, but yes for a longer writing session that is more than a few minutes. Without the back being open, no ink from the huge barrel capacity is able to reach the section and the feed, so the pen uses up what is available (which is quite a lot as it is so big) but will then run out.

Where would one buy such a pen in London, sir? I’ve never seen a Namiki or even Pilot shop. (Sorry I know you say you’re not a seller or representing any seller, but I thought maybe you’d help me. The pen looks enchanting.

I don't know, I've not been to London for many years, you'd have to do some reasearch on that one - hope you find some.

Thought the Namiki Emperor was an eyedrop filler. Your pens seem to be piston fillers. Please elaborate! :)

The Emperors are all eyedroppers, the valve near the end of the barrel stops or allows ink from the huge barrel capacity into the section and feed. I'm actually going to do a video on maintenance of an emperor shortly, was just trying to get the ink used up first! The Yukari Royale and Yukaris I'll also be reviewing are all cartridge-converter pens.

Beautiful pens, but at the risk of being brusque, your handwriting isn't up to the task of reviewing such works of art. You don't even attempt cursive writing. One is left wondering what those nibs are capable of.
