Above and scattered next to the bijinga are sakura pedals. Sakura, or cherry blossom, is a national symbol in Japan. They symbolize renewal and the ephemeral nature of life. In the springtime, the Japanese celebrate the blooming of the blossoms with their friends and family under Sakura trees.
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.
