Limited Edition: Pelikan Souverän M1000 Raden Stardust Fountain Pen
Raden is a traditional Japanese decorative craft. Working with small pieces of precious shell material, the master artist creates a unique and distinctive striped fountain pen which is an impressive piece of art. Each individually produced piece is crafted by hand and is truly unique.
The M1000 Stardust “Hoshikuzu” 星屑 is a poetic tribute to stardust scattered across a midnight sky, a vision brought to life by the renowned artist Yamazaki Mushu and his collective, “Hoshu-kai” a revered group of Kaga Maki-e masters based in Yamanaka Onsen, Kaga City, Ishikawa Prefecture.
Crafted using the ancient Raden technique, this masterpiece begins with a smooth coat of deep black Urushi lacquer, echoing the depth of the cosmos. Then , three types of finely crushed abalone shell are meticulously arranged into vertical stripes using a traditional Funzutsu (powder tube). As the light catches the surface, an iridescent shimmer dances across the pen: hues of violet, blue, green and silver flicker like distant stars.
Each M1000 Stardust is individually signed by the artist and features a limited-edition number applied with the maki-e technique. The pen is presented in and elegant Paulownia wood box. This unique Limited Edition will be available in April 2026 .
