Description

The release of each year’s Pelikan Maki-e Limited Edition is one of the major events in the world of quality fountain pens. The pen for 2026, the Pelikan Souverän M1000 Maki-e Four Seasons Lucky Charm Limited Edition, is perhaps one of the most beautiful and noteworthy in recent years.

The design is by master artisan Ishikura Mitsuhiro of the Kaga Hoshukai Collective, a highly revered group of Maki-e and Raden artists located in Yamanaka Onsen in Ishikawa Prefecture. Ishikawa Prefecture has long been a traditional enter for urushi and Maki-e arts.
The motif beautifully combines eastern and western influences, with the four suits of western playing cards (which were forbidden in Japan until the 19th century Meiji era) intermingled with the four seasons so often used as the inspiration in traditional Japanese art.
Kaga Togidashi-Takamaki-e technique utilizes precious gold and silver powders along with raden and eggshell over dark black urushi lacquer to create alternating raised and polished sections on the cap and barrel. And while collectors may value this a beautiful art object to preserve and admire, for users it is a stunning and unforgettable writing instrument that makes a powerful statement every time it is used.

Pelikan revolutionized the fountain pen world with the introduction of its differential piston-fill system in the late 1920’s. Nearly a hundred years later, subtle refinements in engineering and material make this system even more reliable and impressive. With its generous ink capacity, the M1000 utilizes this system to the utmost.

Pelikan 18k solid gold nib units are extremely well-suited to our noted nib customizations. Normally provided only in Medium, we can equip this pen with your choice from among all four M1000 18k nib tipping sizes.

We recommend a Broad or Medium nib for the most distinctive results with customizations such as Stub, Cursive Italic, and Architects Point. And if the Pelikan Extra Fine is not fine enough for you, regrinds to Needlepoint are also available from us.
