A few days ago, Pelikan announced their next Maki-e release, the M1000 Maki-e Goldfish limited edition fountain pen. The theme may seem familiar because of the carp inspired Maki-e Koi, released in 2015. Pelikan explains that “the design showcases two traditional goldfish, one in vivid red on the cap and another in graceful white on the barrel.” It also includes flowing seaweed and gentle waves, elements that “add tranquility and movement, symbolizing abundance, elegance, and good fortune in Japanese culture.” Each pen is hand-painted, and only 123 pieces will be available worldwide, with an expected arrival for sometime in June.
