Pelikan M1000 Raden Stardust fountain pen

Pelikan M1000 Raden Stardust limited edition

A Universe in Your Hand : Pelikan 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 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 urushio 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 an elegant paulownia wood box, reflecting the reverence and care behind its creation.
