The Pelikan Maki-e Dragon Special Edition is a masterwork of traditional Japanese lacquer artistry, hand-crafted by a master maki-e artisan on the foundation of Pelikan's iconic Souverän piston-fill fountain pen. Each pen is a unique collector's piece, individually signed by the artist and bearing its own limited edition number. Worldwide limited to 123 pieces.
Design Theme
The pen body depicts an Eastern dragon — a timeless symbol of power and auspicious fortune — rendered in exquisite detail across the lacquer surface. Gold powder and charcoal powder are layered throughout the design, creating a rich, multi-dimensional depth that shifts and shimmers with every movement of the pen.
Maki-e Lacquer Artistry
Crafted using traditional maki-e techniques passed down through generations, the pen undergoes multiple rounds of lacquer application, drying, and meticulous polishing. The interplay of gold and charcoal powders gives the dragon motif a luminous, textured quality that cannot be replicated by machine.
