 Product Description:

 This pen is inspired by Ogata Korin's rendition of Fujin and Raijin in the 17th century (original illustration by Tawaraya Sotatsu). Fujin (wind god) is depicted on the cap and Raijin (thunder god) is depicted on the barrel. The two gods are the most notable and feared of Japanese deities. They are arch rivals to each other and constantly battle to be the ruler of the sky.
