The Emperor Collection represents the finest craftsmanship of the NAMIKI brand, a true symbol of Japan’s artistic heritage. Inspired by the large fountain pens from 80 years ago known as the “Best Type,” this collection features a distinctive crown and flat back design. The series showcases motifs from “Yamato-e,” traditional Japanese paintings treasured for centuries. The intricate designs are built up using layers of lacquer and charcoal powder, then perfected with the exquisite maki-e technique, giving the patterns a rich, three-dimensional effect. The vibrant colors are the result of meticulous and time-consuming base work. The goldfish motifs appear so lifelike and dynamic, as if they might swim off the pen at any moment. This pen captures the serene beauty of the underwater world. Its refined finish adds a touch of elegance to its owner’s presence. More than just a writing instrument, it is a true work of art that takes months to complete, designed to be a stunning addition to any desk.
