Pelikan Maki-e Spring and Autumn was launched in June 2016. It is crafted on Pelikan M1000. It is limited to 111 pieces world wide.
As symbols of autumn and spring, Cherry Blossom and Maple are drawn on the cap and the barrel of the fountain pen. Three traditional Japanese designs are drawn and depicted on the cap background: a water stream in the green area, a hemp leaf pattern in the brown area and a golden stripe applied by using a lot of tiny pieces of gold foil.
Additional artistic designs are drawn and featured on the barrel along with tiny pieces of blue shell used to create and make the beautiful Raden stripe. A never ending line pattern is eternal love. The Harikiri technique , considered to be one of the most difficult Maki-e techniques, is also used in the silver area offering a dramatic and beautiful finishing touch to this exquisite pen.
