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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"pelikan-cherry-blossom-autumn-leaves-limited-edition-set-2008","title":"Pelikan Cherry Blossom \u0026 Autumn Leaves Limited Edition Set, 2008","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"py-4 my-3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_titleHeaders\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eCherry Blossom \u0026amp; Autumn Leaves\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eMAKI-E SET\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pt-4 pb-0 mt-3 mb-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdition of 250 sets\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo opposing seasons are featured with this Maki-e series.
