The Emperor Collection is Namiki’s highest ranking series.
Exquisitely crafted using traditional Japanese Maki-e techniques, such as Togidashi Taka Maki-e, Rankaku and Raden, the pen is hand-crafted by a skilled artisan Yasunori Sakamoto in a process that takes over four months to complete. Basically the Artist textures the white rabbit fur through
Rankaku-nuri, a painstaking method of using crushed eggshells that are arranged like miniature mosaic fragments. The reflections of the moonlight on foliage are emphasised by strategically selecting leaves for raden, an inlay using mother-of-pearl shells.
The pen is fitted with a fine Medium (M) 18ct gold nib imprinted with Mt. Fuji in a white platinum wash and the Namiki pentagon. Includes original wooden box, outer packaging,
booklet and pipette.
This pen employs an eyedropper filling system.

Selling all over the world for us the shipping is an important issue.
We use only high quality materials such as double wall cardboard boxes, extra large buble wrap, polypropylene packaging tape, pvc pipe with high resistance.
Shipment is guaranteed within 24 hours after receiving payment.
We have had some problems our traditional shipping methods (lost packages, major slowdown in delivery) so we decided to move to

FedEx requires a telephone number (landline or mobile) on the shipping label.
For this reason we ask you to tell us your phone number on the Paypal or with an ebay message.
