Namiki Emperor No.50 Urushi Fountain Pen — Black & Vermilion
The Namiki Emperor No.50 represents one of the purest expressions of traditional Japanese urushi craftsmanship. With its impressive oversized form and beautifully balanced proportions, the Emperor is Namiki's iconic flagship fountain pen.
Two Timeless Urushi Finishes
Available in two classic finishes, each pen is meticulously finished with natural Japanese lacquer through repeated layers of application and polishing. Rather than relying on elaborate decoration, these models allow the depth, warmth, and distinctive lustre of urushi itself to take center stage.
Black Urushi — a deep, understated elegance with a rich glossy surface that gives the oversized Emperor a powerful yet refined presence.
Vermilion Urushi — the traditional Japanese shu red, a warm and vibrant colour with remarkable depth. Under different lighting, the lacquer reveals subtle variations in tone that highlight the organic beauty of natural urushi.
Writing & Filling

Simple, timeless, and unmistakably Namiki — the Black and Vermilion Urushi Emperor No.50 celebrate the beauty of Japanese lacquer in its most essential form.
