In Japanese society, sakura (cherry) blossoms are a symbol of the fleeting nature of life. Sakura trees blossom for just a few weeks in the year, and the short time of beauty is celebrated by people all over Japan. This pen pays homage to the cyclical nature of the sakura, moving from colorful raden work to a scene of golden perfection, and back again. Maki-e is featured throughout, including on the grip section. A gorgeous addition to any pen collection.
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.
