Customer Reviews
The standard Namiki inks arrive in easy-to-fill-from bottles, reasonably priced, well behaved, and possessing some water resistance (at least the black and blue). For more colors, try the more expensive Iroshizuku offerings made also by Pilot.

I received my Namiki/pilotNippon Art Golden Pheasants Fountain Pen from PenChalet last week. A GRAIL pen! 5.5" of lacquered brass,2 flying pheasants & a bunch of bugs for pheasant food. Perfect art work. Beautiful #10 M nib,broad shouldered,some flex,nice wet line. Con 70 converter easily loaded Pilot Tsukushi ink & then writing bliss. I admit I like Namiki/Pilot high end pens, consistently great build, nibs & they write every time! Pen Chalet offered a great price, quick delivery & the best service in the internet business. I've been a customer for 7 years & I highly recommend Ron & the rest of the fine folks at Pen Chalet. I hope the pheasants don't eat the bugs & fly off hunting another meal! Wichita Lawyer

What can be said about this pen. It is beautiful. The silver is bright. The pen has some heft but feels good in the hand. I have yet to write with it, but I have confidence in the brand. Thank you Pen Chalet for making this pen available at a great price.

The blue is a modest blue - not sensational. It is somewhat water resistant but not for water colorists, I think. I have a couple pens that need the flow characteristics.

Purchased as a gift for college graduation. The presentation is beautiful. Pen is secured in a wooden box and placed a cardboard box with brand on the outside. The artwork is amazing.

How does one rate a Fountain Pen when it's beauty is so captivating you can't bring yourself to fill it with ink. Give me a few weeks and I'm sure I'll put ink to pen and pen to paper. For now, all I can comment on is the look and feel and styling of the Namiki Yukari Grapevine. I am totally pleased with the look, feel and styling of this pen. It's the perfect weight for me - perfectly balanced in my grip. Did I mention it was beautiful? Colors are lustrous, deep darks with light and soft undertones. Got this baby really fast and Pen Chalet packaged it expertly and securely. I love this store for working with me on shipping.

It's a clean blue color, without much turquoise or purple going on. From this perspective it's quite unique and I can see it always present in my stash. Good flow, nice lubricating properties, normal behavior on paper, certain water resistance. It mixes well with other inks and for that alone I'd keep it. Whether you want to improve the flow of, say, Diamine Onyx Black or to tame Private Reserve Supershow Blue, Pilot Blue comes to help.
That being said, the color is on the subtle side and may not suit if preferences are for bright saturated colors.

I purchased a new Pilot/Namiki Vanishing Point fountain pen, and it was suggested that this ink be used for the pen. So far, so good - this ink flows well, and I the price is very reasonable. I'll continue using it.
