The Japanese Touch: Pelikan Souverän M1000 Raden Black Infinity Limited Edition
German writing instrument powerhouse Pelikan has added a stunning new member to its prestigious Raden series: the Souverän M1000 Raden Black Infinity. Limited to just 400 individually numbered pieces, this exquisite fountain pen is the epitome of refined artistry and cultural fusion.
Each pen is handcrafted in Japan using the Urushi lacquer technique, a centuries-old decorative method that layers natural lacquer and sprinkles it with precious metal powder to create a glowing finish. Adorning the barrel are shimmering green Abalone Shell (Mother-of-Pearl) fragments, carefully arranged using the Raden technique—a traditional Japanese craft that inlays delicate slivers of shell, each one meticulously hand-cut.
The infinity motif graces the pen’s body with a continuous checkerboard pattern, symbolizing eternal elegance. Crafted from deep black resin and accented with Sterling silver, the pen also features a solid 18k gold nib in a medium size, offering a smooth and luxurious writing experience.
The Pelikan M1000 Raden Black Infinity is not just a writing tool—it’s a collectible objet d’art that blends German precision with Japanese tradition. Priced at around $3,400, it’s a limited-edition treasure for discerning connoisseurs and collectors alike.
