Raden is a traditional Japanese decorative craft where a master artist works with small pieces of precious shell material to create a unique and distinctive design. For the M1000 Green Ray, strips of shell are carefully laid, creating an impressive fountain pen which is a piece of art. Each individually produced piece is crafted by hand and truly unique.

The M1000 Green Ray fountain pen begins with special Japanese Urushi lacquer to make the surface a deep black. Then the traditional stripes are made from Australian abalone, crafted to create a fascinating interplay of colors that glisten and shimmer in the sunlight. The stripes are fixed to the cap and barrel with lacquer. Finally, the artist individually signs and numbers each fountain pen with the Maki-e technique.

Limited to just 400 pieces worldwide, the M1000 Green Ray sports a medium 18K gold nib and arrives in a traditional Japanese Paulownia wood gift box.
