The Pelikan 'Fireworks' Maki-e Fountain Pen
The Pelikan Maki-e Fireworks combines the drama of fireworks - brilliant colors and thrilling shapes - with the elegance of the Kaga Togidashi Maki-e.
Fireworks are a major cultural attraction in Japan where approximately 500 shows occur annually. Although upward of 20,000 fireworks are used per display, they fall into just two main categories: Kiku-mono and Botan-mono. The first of these, Kiku-mono, refers to the glorious 'chrysanthemum type' in which sparks leave a descending trail of sparks behind them, disappearing gradually into the inky black sky. Botan-mono - the 'peony type' - do not leave these trails, but explode in a massive and brilliant flash.*
This exquisite Maki-e depicts the experience of the Japanese firework display in its rendering of an orange Kiku-mono (peony) on the cap and multiple Botan-mono (chysanthemums) along the length of the barrel. Premier quality mother-of-pearl shellwork is inlaid, as is sumptuous gold. The Pelikan logo is on the crown, along with the limited edition number and the artist's signature, which is etched by hand using the classic Maki-e technique.
