I was eyeing this pen for a period of time. Do share the writing experience.

I was extremely lucky this weekend... bought a big collection and one of the pens was the incredible Namiki Emperor "holy clouds" - only around 3 pieces were ever made.

Production tolerances with Namiki are minimal, hence differences in nib performance are minimal too. I have three Yukari Royales with a M nib and I concur to my own statement (hehe). In other words, there are plenty writing examples and experiences around here and/or on youtube. Happy hunting!

Thank you for these images. 

Is the red one a Yukari Royale?

Thank you for clarifying. For a moment I thought it may have been a special order Namiki. And my next question would have been: how does one go about organising that!

Here is my Pilot Namiki Tiger pen, signed by the artist Masaru Hayashi. It is one of the first series zodiac pens from the late nineties, made from ebonite and decorated with taka-maki-e and jim-maki-e and these were branded Pilot in Japan. The series was discontinued around 2007 and followed up with a Namiki branded similar second series zodiac pens, made with metallic barrels. It has an 18K M nib and I have not yet inked/written with it, but hope to do that soon, once I have stopped admiring it.

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast. 
    • Ceilidh
      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
