This pen employs one of the most respected Chinkin techniques called Tenbori, or dot carving. This unforgiving method allows for no error. Once a mark is made, it cannot be removed. The three dimensional effects are achieved by clusters of carved dots, cut into the urushi lacquer. This sustained activity requires skill, concentration and great strength of mind. For this reason the Chinkin technique on these pens is craft elevated to fine art.

These are the first clipless pens in the Namiki Chinkin Collection offering an uninterrupted surface for the design.

Mt. Fuji, highlighted in rhodium plate along with the Namiki pentagon, identify this nib as the apex of their production.

Available in Medium tip only from Namiki, we can customize these nibs to suit individual tastes.

As is the case with all of the Emperor series pens, this is an eyedropper filled pen, capable of holding some large part of a bottle of ink. It also has an ink shut-off to seal the nib from the barrel when not in use.

This pen is only being made in very small numbers. It may take some time to get one from Japan, so some lead time may be necessary.
