Overview

The Namiki Emperor Urushi Black No.50 fountain pen revives the oversized No.50 Jumbo design of the early 1930s. The historical connection extends to its eyedropper filling system, while the large 18k gold nib and plain black lacquer finish define the pen's appearance.

Kokkokai artisans use Roiro Urushi Shiage to develop the lacquer's luster. An oil-free lacquer is used for the final coat, followed by polishing with special charcoal and repeated applications of raw lacquer rubbed into the surface. The finish gives prominence to the black lacquer itself, with a gold-finished clip providing the exterior accent.

Made in Japan, the pen closes with a screw-on cap and measures 174.1 mm capped. Barrel width is 17.2 mm, and weight with the cap is 47.7 g. It is presented in a wooden box.

Namiki Emperor Black Urushi

The pen came well packed, with warranty card duly filled. The nib is aligned perfectly with the feed. There is some air leak somewhere, probably in the ink channel in the neck of the pen. This air leak causes thinner inks to gush out of the nib if the knob is opened even a little.

Perfect Namiki Emperor Writing Experience, Without The Additional Decoration

The writing experience on this pen is identical to its more expensive Namiki Emperor cousins. While those higher priced pens are truly beautiful works of art, this model is still extremely elegant and beautiful in its own right. The pen is perfectly weighted, requiring no pressure to write. The nib is buttery smooth, and it never hard starts (even after months of being capped and not used). While it lacks the additional artwork of the other models, the attention to detail and quality of craftsmanship is just as high. The join for the piston operated shut-off valve is so finely tuned that it is nearly invisible. If you want the identical feel and writing experience of the Namiki Emperor line, but don't want to spend the extra money for the additional decoration, this pen is for you.
