Pelikan M1000 Raden Sunrise Red fountain pen

The Pelikan M1000 Raden Sunrise Red Fountain Pen is made using the Japanese maki-e techniques beginning with a red Urushi lacquer. the stripes are then created by adding a layer of real abalone shells from the Japanese sea. The shells are ground with a hard stone into thin sheets to be used in the process. They are then cut and fixed on the pen with lacquer and then coated and polished for a stunning end result.

Originally reserved for Japanese royalty, the maki-e technique represents wealth and power. Each hand crafted pen is then signed and numbered by the artist making the Pelikan M1000 Raden Sunrise Red fountain pen truly a fine crafted masterpiece.

The Pelikan M1000 Raden Sunrise Red fountain pen is then fitted with an 18k gold two tone medium nib. Like other M1000 fountain pens it also comes with the Pelikan piston fill mechanism for use with bottled inks. Each pen is presented in a fine Japanese gift box made of Paulownia wood.

Although the pen will not be available until the summer of 2016 are taking pre-orders for the pen for those interested. Make sure you reserve your Pelikan Raden Sunrise fountain pen today!
