10 Namiki Emperor fountain pens: my favourites (4K)

This is a quickfire 6 minute look at the 10 Namiki Pilot Emperors which I like best. I was given access to a superb private collection which I'll be uploading many videos of when they are ready, so just as a warm-up I wanted to quickly share how amazing these pens are.

These Namiki Emperors are all Japanese ebonite pens with urushi and makie, raden and/or chinkin decoration. These are the pens in order of display:

Emperor Shishi Komainu
Emperor Treasure
Emperor Shijin
Emperor Crane
Emperor Nightline
Emperor Butterfly and Chrysanthemum
Emperor Toryumon
Emperor Goldfish
Emperor Chinkin Hawk
Emperor Pavilion/Pagoda
