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…

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

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.

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

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

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...
@pen.venture

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
