Pelikan Maki-e Karajishi (Chinese Lion) fountain pen
Tigers used to be regarded as the king of beasts in ancient China, but when the rumors
about lions were passed on to Chinese people through the Silk Road, lions took the
place of tigers. Lions were also valued as the symbol of kingship – not only in China
but also in Egypt and India where lion statues were placed in the palaces of their
dynasties to represent the king’s power and to protect him.
Karajishi is an imaginary lion introduced from the Tang Dynasty (7th to 10th century) to Japan. In both the East and West, a lion has been considered to be a precious luck-bringing animal that averts evil, beckons happiness and promotes joy. The two lions and colored balls depicted on the fountain pen are believed to realize your dreams and bring joy and fortune to you.

Pelikan Maki-e 8 tools fountain pen
In Chinese mythology, eight immortal Chinese deities are often represented as a group
together. Each immortal’s power can be transferred to a tool of power: These eight
tools are a gourd, a fan which gives life, a drum, a lotus flower, a basket with orchid,
a magical sword, a flute and a musical instrument like castanets. They are considered
to bring fortune and destroy evil. This fountain pen combines all these lucky symbols
with excellent craftmanship - a powerful charm for the lucky owner.
