A Universe in Your Hand: The Pelikan M1000 Raden Stardust "Hoshikuzu"

The Pelikan Raden Stardust "Hoshikuzu" is the breathtaking result of a meeting between two exceptional worlds: German engineering mastery and centuries-old Japanese decorative artistry. It's a Limited Edition to only 400 pieces worldwide.

The Art of Raden: Fragments of the Cosmos

The core of this masterpiece is the ancient Japanese Raden technique. Beginning with a base of deep black Urushi lacquer , three types of finely crushed abalone shell are meticulously applied.

• Precision: The shell fragments are arranged into vertical stripes using a traditional Funzutsu (powder tube).
• Play of Light: Depending on the angle, the stripes shimmer in hues of violet, blue, green, and silver—resembling distant stars scattered across a midnight sky.
• The Finish: The design is encased in layers of clear lacquer and polished to a lustrous, glassy finish.

Japanese Craftsmanship: The Hoshu-kai Collective

This edition is a poetic tribute to stardust, brought to life by the renowned artist Yamazaki Mushu and his collective, "Hoshu-kai". These Kaga maki-e masters from Yamanaka Onsen individually sign each pen and apply the limited-edition number using the prestigious maki-e technique.

Technical Excellence

The foundation is the majestic Souverän M1000, the largest fountain pen in Pelikan’s portfolio.

• The Nib: A massive, two-tone 18-carat gold nib.
• The Details: Radiant 24k gold-plated accents and the iconic Pelikan clip.
• Presentation: Each pen is presented in an elegant paulownia wood box.

The Verdict for Collectors

Available from April 2026, the Raden Stardust is a rare cosmic fusion of East and West, turning a writing instrument into a tangible object of celestial wonder.
