Chatting About My Pens Part 2: Urushi Fountain Pens (Namiki, Danitrio)
In this new series of videos, I chat about my pens. There will be no writing samples here: if you’re interested in that, please check out my reviews of the individual pens or see my Personal Pens videos.
In this second installment, I talk about my urushi pens, made by Namiki and Danitrio.
My Personal Pens: Namiki Emperor Vermillion
The Namiki Emperor is a great pen, in every sense of the word. It’s a giant ebonite pen, which is then lacquered with urushi. The nib is Namiki’s #50 – and it’s enormous and a little springy (contrary to the modern Emperor nibs, which are stiffer, as I understand). A behemoth, this eyedropper-filled pen with a one-way shutoff valve holds about 6 ml of ink – so I can use this for weeks without having to re-ink it. If you are interested, I have also recorded a full review of this pen. This beautiful pen was a gift from Azizah, which makes it all the more special.

Namiki Yukari Nightline Moonlight Fountain Pen Review
This pen was purchased at La Couronne du Comte. You can use the code BROWN10 for 10% off your purchase, but that excludes Montblanc.
This gorgeous pen with strips of abalone shell definitely warranted a review – even though it’s actually Azizah’s pen.
