This pen features Horaisan, the legendary island of the immortals, where the elixir of life lies hidden.
In Japanese tradition, "the crane lives a thousand years, the turtle ten thousand." Kogaku gave Horaisan its rightful guardians: a turtle whose shell is a mosaic of crushed mother-of-pearl, and a crane lifting off through the pines in gold maki-e. Between them, the golden palace of the immortals rises out of the mist, and the cap is inscribed 蓬莱山, the island's name, in Kogaku-san's hand.
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.
