The Maki-e Goldfish, released in 2025, is strictly limited to 123 pieces worldwide, making it a true collector's treasure.
Serial number: 114

In the world of Japanese symbolism, the goldfish is a timeless emblem of prosperity, elegance, and good fortune. Its name, believed to derive from "Chin-yui" - the "fish of wealth" - reflects its revered status in art and culture. For centuries, goldfish have graced Maki-e lacquerware as icons of vitality and abundance.

Pelikan proudly presents the Maki-e "Goldfish", a masterful fusion of Japanese artistry and German craftsmanship. This exquisite fountain pen features a vivid red goldfish on the cap and a delicately rendered white goldfish on the barrel. Each is meticulously hand-painted, their flowing tails and shimmering scales brought to life with subtle touches of gold. Surrounding them, gently swaying hornwort and rippling waves evoke the serene beauty of a tranquil pond. Crafted using the sophisticated Togidashi-Taka-Maki-e technique, this edition combines raised textures with a polished lacquer finish, showcasing the depth and refinement of traditional Japanese lacquer art.

The "Goldfish" is built upon Pelikan's iconic Souverän® M1000 model and fitted with an 18-carat gold nib, elegantly finished with rhodium. Each piece is individually signed by the Maki-e artist and presented in a traditional Paulownia wood box - a symbol of respect and refinement in Japanese culture.

A Universe in your hand: Pelikan Limited Edition Raden M1000 Stardust "Hoshikuzu".
The Pelikan Raden Limited Edition is the breathtaking result of a meeting between two exceptional traditions: Pelikan's German mastery of fine writing instruments, backed by over 185 years of craftsmanship and innovation, and the exquisite decorative artistry of Japan's centuries-old techniques.
The M1000 Stardust "Hoshikuzu" 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 Japanese lacquer, called Urushi, 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 fountain pen: hues of violet, blue, green, and silver flicker like distant stars.
The Raden is encased in layers of clear lacquer, polished and refined over time to produce a lustrous, glassy finish. Paired with radiant 24k gold-plated accents, including a classic Pelikan clip and double cap bands, the fountain pen exudes timeless luxury.
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 an elegant paulownia wood box, reflecting the reverence and care behind its creation.
We are proud to present the Pelikan Raden M1000 Stardust "Hoshikuzu", a cosmic fusion of East and West, tradition and innovation, where every glimmering stripe tells a story of celestial wonder.

Deep Urushi lacquer: A black as profound as the edge of the night.
Iridescent Raden: Hand-placed stripes of violet, blue, and green abalone shell, applied with the traditional Funzutsu technique.

Artist's seal: Each piece is individually signed and numbered, a testament of its uniqueness.
