This pen is inspired by a famous Chinese motif of children at play which has been expressed in various art from region to region. Motifs in China have migrated into Japanese culture from Japan and China's long history of trade and cultural exchanges through the centuries and, therefore, can be also found in Japanese works. This motif symbolizes youth, innocence, and being carefree. It also represents the emphasis of the family line and the wish for a successful marriage and an abundance of successful offspring. The illustration has changed over time and its depictions were very reflective of the social conditions at the time that they were painted. This specific 100 kids motif is thought to have been a reference to the founder of the Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Wen Wang, who had 99 sons and decided he wanted to achieve 100 by adopting an additional son.
About Danitrio Genkai 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.
