Sailor Manyo Azuki - 50ml Bottled Ink
50ml square glass bottle of Sailor Manyo Azuki red fountain pen ink. This smooth-flowing water-based dye ink is specifically formulated to be safe for all fountain pens.
A deep, earthy red, this ink mirrors the azuki bean, a staple food during the Heian period. While today it’s often sweetened, back then it was typically eaten plain or with salt.
About the Sailor Manyo collection:
We are thrilled to announce the arrival of the latest Sailor Manyo Ink series, originally launching with the Manyo Pen “Third Edition” as a pen and ink set last month. This unique collection, inspired by foods from the Heian period as described in the Manyoshu, offers vibrant and evocative colors that celebrate Japanese culture and history.
Manyoshu, which translates to “Collection of Ten Thousand Leaves,” is the oldest and most revered anthology of Japan’s poetic compilations. Over a period of four centuries, 4516 poems were written by every class of person ranging from Emperors to merchants and farmers. “Manyo” is an abbreviation of “Manyoshu” and its meaning indicates people of all ranks.
