Brian sat down with John Lane, the General Manager of Pilot Fine Writing, to learn the ins and outs of Namiki maki-e fountain pens. The ancient Japanese tradition of maki-e is an art form that combines meticulous attention to detail with deep symbolism and mythology. The training for maki-e artists is so rigorous that a novice works for decades before making a pen without the supervision of a master craftsman.
In this video, Brian and John walk through each of the Namiki maki-e fountain pen models, including the Namiki Emperor, Yukari Royake, Yukari, Nippon Art, and Chinkin. They talk through the various filling mechanisms, nib sizes, and explain the details of each of the maki-e techniques.

What a fantastic salesman--he knows his product thoroughly, doesn't oversell, honestly admits the pros and cons of each product, and just the slightest dash of humor at the right spots. No wonder Pilot entrusts their best pens to him.

The desire is real. The craftsmanship and designs are simply stunning. Pilot/Namiki is probably my favorite brand for writing instruments. I give away or encourage friends to buy the Metropolitan series all the time. Started a collection of high-end fountain pens with Sheaffer and the E95S, but would love to add these to my collection one day, especially since I'll graduate around the time Pilot will celebrate their 100th year anniversary. Hope they do something special that I can be a part of. Too bad they don't have a California branch or something. Would love to say I've tried to apply for their legal department. Hah!

While the lacquer material is durable, I think a pen sleeve or a Nock case to prevent it from jostling around on the go would be wise. The Wooden Box it came in should be sufficient when at home. I would stick with easy to clean (non-permanent) inks, and be sure to maintain a regular cleaning schedule with it. Beyond that, it's still a fountain pen, meant to write. So don't shy away from it! :) - Colin

Hi, I am wondering if you can give me some feedback. I am very interested into the Namiki line, and would like to start from the bottom. I like fine, or extra fine nibs because of my type of hand writing, want to know how fine are namiki nippon fine nibs against a montblanc's 149 legrand, aurora's optima, conklin's ambrosia, visconti's homo sapiens and conway' s stewart churchill fine nibs (my starting collection). i have never used/saw any namiki, so I have no comparison. Greetings from Mexico

I can't speak to some of those pens as we don't carry them, but in regards to the Optima/Homo Sapiens it should write pretty similarly to the fines offered in those. It uses a nib very similarly to other gold nibbed Pilot pens. You can compare them all in our Nib Nook (www.gouletpens.com/nib-nook). - Colin

Yeah, that was 2011 limited edition. Not sure if they're still available anywhere. - Colin

Colin, I've been itching for one of those beauties since 2016. Too bad people want $600 for it, not worth more than $250 IMO.

1400 is something I think I could save up for and buy, that's not super horrible. Just...if I had that expensive of a pen, I would be worried about really using it anywhere but home. I'd have to have a specific area that I'd use it and that's it. I generally like to travel with my FPs though.

They're definitely "holy grail" pens for some. I've got my eye on one as well! But yeah, most probably wouldn't use it as their everyday writer. - Colin

I think what hurts my feelings the most when I look at those pens is the fact that most of them are more expensive than my new camera with two lenses. They're absolutely gorgeous, but I'd baby them even more than my camera if I got one! It would be displayed in a glass case and out of reach of everyone, I'm not sure I'd take it out except for looking at its beauty before putting it back in there.

There's some people that use them as everyday writers! Can you imagine? I feel like only the most important notes/signatures would be worthy of using these pens. :) - Colin

The Goulet Pen Company I'd be scared to scratch them or lose them! Or anything, really, I'm usually dropping pens left and right (usually with the cap on, luckily) because I'm clumsy :O
