Pilot Namiki Emperor Fountain Pen - Goldfish
The Namiki Emperor Fountain Pen – Goldfish is a stunning example of traditional Japanese craftsmanship, created by master maki-e artisan Seiki. Featuring the intricate Togidashi-Taka Maki-e (burnished-raised maki-e) technique, it showcases vibrant goldfish swimming gracefully across the barrel, brought to life through months of meticulously layered and polished lacquer. It comes beautifully packaged in a wooden box with a bottle of ink, making it not just a writing instrument, but a true collector’s treasure.
The Emperor Collection is Namiki's highest ranking series, representing the pinnacle of artistry, tradition, and luxury. Each pen is made from ebonite and fitted with a massive No. 50 (Jumbo) 18k gold nib, reminiscent of Namiki’s historic Maki-e pens from a century ago. The collection includes two types of pens: one without a clip, allowing you to enjoy the design uninterrupted around the entire barrel, and one with a clip for added functionality. It fills via eyedropper and includes an ink stopping mechanism for precise ink flow.

You know that phenomenon where new shiny toys lose their lust after becoming mere day-to-day expectancies. (—Becoming just another material “thing” that you may or may not take for granted.) Some more than others, we all have those “things.” This pen is profoundly not one of them.
Actually, I think it would be impossible to take this pen for granted. Likely because calling it a “pen,” or “fountain pen,” or “writing instrument” is a criminal understatement. This thing is a MASTERPIECE—a piece of art so incredible that my jaw has seemingly been on the floor from the moment I unboxed it.
And as for Yoseka: I could not think of a more professional and trustworthy fountain-pen distributor to purchase a high-profile piece (like this one) from.
Five stars and many thumbs up!
