The "Oath of the Peach Garden" (Toen-no Chikai in Japanese) is a famous historical and literary story adopted by Japan from China. It is a foundational oath of brotherhood from the Chinese classic 14th-century novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
The story describes a meeting in a blooming peach orchard between three men — Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei. The trio drank wine and swore a solemn oath of brotherhood:
- To unite and help each other in times of distress and danger.
- To serve the nation and protect the common people.
- To share the same fate.
The pen presents a breathtaking visual narrative of this story filled with richly detailed figures, celestial gold accents, and flowing imagery that wraps seamlessly around the barrel and cap. Its deep black backdrop contrasts beautifully with warm bronze, gold, cream, and muted green tones, creating a dramatic and elegant presence in hand. Every angle reveals intricate storytelling elements, from noble characters to majestic horses, giving the pen the appearance of a miniature rolling artwork. The oversized Genkai silhouette enhances the grandeur of the design while maintaining a balanced and luxurious aesthetic. Finished with a striking gold-toned nib and shimmering textures throughout, this fountain pen is both visually commanding and timelessly refined.
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.
