Dolphins in Japan are seen as guardians of evil spirits and symbolize auspiciousness.
This pen was originally a tribute for the wife of a fountainpennetwork member by the name of Jopen (Jose). This was an excerpt taken from Jopen's post in his Fountain Pen Network forum:
The base of the idea was to materialize the essence of a very special person, my wife. If something really is true with her is that she seeks always goals that are almost unreachable (anybody knowing a Piscies should know what I’m talking about!) She also loves sea, dolphins and as almost every woman, she has a secret relation with the poetical Moon. Finally I got the idea; the pen should show a dolphin jumping in the night, trying to reach the unreachable moon.
