Pelikan Limited Editions - Maki-E

Maki-E
FINEST JAPANESE CRAFTSMANSHIP

Each of these valuable fountain pens is a piece of art, masterfully crafted by use of the Maki-e technique. All Pelikan Maki-e fountain pens are handmade, unique pieces created to last. The number of pens is strictly limited.

Maki-e is a traditional Japanese craft passed down from generation to generation. When translated, the name of the technique means “sprinkled picture”, a meaning derived from the fine gold and silver dust and, occasionally, also the dust of shaved precious stones sprinkled across the fountain pen. By using specially prepared Urushi lacquer acquired from the sap of the East Asian lacquer tree and finely ground precious metals, intricate motifs are created in an extremely laborious, time-consuming process. The coveted Maki-e unique collection is pure luxury.

Collections

  • Bottled Fountain Pen Ink

    Choose bottled fountain pen ink if you want the widest color selection and a more refillable writing experience. Bottled ink works with compatible fountain pens using a converter, piston filling system, or other bottle-fill mechanism.

  • Fountain Pen Ink Cartridges

    Choose ink cartridges if you want a simple, convenient refill option with less setup and easier travel. Cartridges are a good choice for everyday writing, school, work, and anyone who wants a faster refill process.

  • Flushing your fountain pen regularly—

    especially when changing ink colors, every six weeks, or before storing the pen—is essential to prevent ink residue buildup, muddy color mixing, and clogged feeds that can lead to scratchy or inconsistent writing.
