    Theme: "The Rising Dragon"
     
    
    From
    ancient times, the dragon has been worshipped as a water god, said to rise
    up into the heavens above.  Traditional
    lore has it that the water that rises with the dragon is what moistens the
    ground, and together with the sun rising from the East, brings abundant
    harvests.  The dragon has long
    been considered a symbol of the Chinese culture. 
    It is believed that the dragon is a nature god invented by the
    ancestors of the Chinese people.  The
    sight of lighting, which accompanies the natural phenomenon of clouds
    gathering and the ensuring rainfall, is thought to have been the inspiration
    for the dragon.  Lighting bolts
    are expressed exquisitely with the mother-of-pearl inlays which glitter and
    change color depending on the way that the light strikes them. 
    Today it is believed that people from prehistory who were awed by
    such natural phenomena created and worshipped the dragon as a symbolic
    entity to which they attributed this overwhelming power. 
    With this special limited edition writing instrument, that power is
    yours.
