The roiro-migaki finish allows for the blue to be depicted visually so purely and homogeneous over the pen. Roiro-migaki is when a non-oil-based urushi called roiro-urushi is applied on the outer layer of the pen. Silver powder is also applied over pen and sealed with urushi lacquer.
About Danitrio Genkai Fountain Pen Series:
The owner of Danitrio had called this series of pens "Genkai", meaning "limit" in Japanese. The intent was that this would be the largest pen series of Danitrio and no other pen would be larger than it. Little did he know that later on he would develop a series with an even larger pen called the Yokozuna.
