The Pelikan Souveran M1000 Maki-E Ivy & Komon Fountain Pen is a Limited Edition writing instrument produced by Pelikan, a renowned German manufacturer of high-quality fountain pens. Maki-e is a very complex Japanese lacquer painting technique, renowned for its beauty and artistry. In the process, the rare Japanese lacquer Urushi is applied to the fountain pen in a multitude of layers which are polished repeatedly. The design is drawn with colored lacquer onto the surface. This technique is called Togidashi-Maki-e. In addition, the artist can mix charcoal powder and gold powder into the lacquer, so that the pattern of the design is raised above the surface: If your thumb glides over the painting, you will feel the difference. This is the Taka-Maki-e technique. For the Pelikan fountain pen model “Ivy and Komon”, the Maki-e artist has harmoniously blended both techniques. The limited edition “Ivy and Komon” shows the climber plant Ivy combined with Komon that is a very beautiful and traditional pattern. This pen is made in Germany and decorated in Japan. The model “Ivy and Komon” is a masterpiece with a finely-chased 18 carat gold nib accentuated with a rhodium décor, in the nib size M. Each pen is individually signed by the artist. The Maki-e fountain pen “Ivy and Komon” is launched in a limited edition of only 123 pieces worldwide. Each piece is embedded in an exclusive gift case made of traditional Japanese Paulownia wood.
Pelikan is a German manufacturing company known for its high-quality writing instruments, stationery, and art supplies. The company was founded in 1838 by Carl Hornemann in Hanover, Germany. Pelikan is well known for their regularly released Special & Limited edition fountain pens in addition to their standard line-up. There have been many Special & Limited edition releases over the years and I thought that it might be interesting to look back at what is considered to be the very first of these modern releases from Pelikan.
