Fireworks are ubiquitous across Japan during the summertime. The origins of fireworks in Japan came from its purposes of warding of evil spirits. During these summer fireworks festivals, the women wear yukatas which are casual kimonos.
This pen depicts a scene of a woman in a yukata and youth admiring the fireworks in the sky. This incredible pen highlights taka maki-e techniques on the human figures, abalone for the jewelry, and rankaku (quail egg shells) for the ground.

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.
