You are looking at Danitrio's new Haiku: Shiki (4 Seasons) Maki-e by Maki-e master, Mr. Tatsuya Todo (Kosetsu). The pens are based on Basho's Haiku. Lots of gold foils were used as background before maki-e painting were done. This layers of gold foils give that wall paper like background. Instead of your typical red or black urushi background, these pens are glorious in person. #5 sets were sold at the LA show. This set is #8 (and no, you don't have to buy the set).
Retail price is $1800 each pen, and my price is $1250 delivered within US per pen or $1275 delivered internationally (per pen). 18kt Flexy Fine Nib, Clipless, Cartridge/converter filler. Size of MB 149 length.
1. Spring (春風に吹き出し笑う花もがな )
"A flower's wish:
To burst out laughing,
Blooming with spring wind"

2. Summer (あらたうと青葉若葉の曰の光 )
"How spectacular!
on the flash of the sun
the sharp leaves, the young leaves"

No one travels it,
An autumn evening"

4. Winter (花みな枯れてあわれをこぼす草の種 )
"The withered flowers,
drop their seeds
like tears"
