"A Celebration of a Thousand Years.
In ancient oriental legends, there is a creature called the dragon that celebrates the passing of every thousand years. This dragon symbolizes good fortune, power, nobility, sacredness and deep mystery. In ancient China, the emperor represented the dragon and the emperor's clothes were called, "long pao", meaning "dragon clothes." The throne on which the emperor sat was called the "long yi", meaning "dragon chair." On each side of the throne's armrests a dragon was carved and when the emperor stroked the dragon it symbolized the emperor's authority, that was derived directly from heaven.
The arrival of the year A.D.2000 is the beginning of a new century for mankind and the beginning of a new millennium. According to the Chinese calendar, it is also the year of the dragon. These two events will not coincide for another three thousand years.until the year A.D.5000. Beautifully etched and lacquered dragons on the cap and barrel of this one-of-a-kind limited edition symbolize the dawn of the next thousand years, while the dragon motif in the clouds depicts a celebration of this rare occasion. The owner of this pen is said to hold the scepter of the emperor. We issued the Double Dragon Limited Edition hoping that immaculate health, good fortune, profitable business dealings and the accumulation of wealth will be yours in A.D.2000...the year of the Dragon.
Cap Design: The Respectable Son-in-Law Who Rides the Dragon
In a country that existed long ago called "Shin", there was a man called the "Xiao Shi", who traveled trying to gain enlightenment. He had a passion for playing a flute like instrument called the "xiao". The emperor gave away his princess's hand in marriage to Xiao Shi. One day, the princess rode on a mythical phoenix bird, and her husband rode a dragon as they ascended toward heaven. Then the saying was born, "To ride the Dragon", which means that you were able to find a respectable son-in-law.
Barrel Design: The Child that Meets the Dragon
An old legend says that a child is derived as a gift from the Goddess of Mercy. Women who are not able to conceive a child often pray to this Goddess on days that are considered lucky. The dragon who symbolizes good fortune, power and nobility together with the current year A.D.2000, which is the year of the dragon, provides a rare occurrence of immense good fortune for a child born this year.
