About the Sailor Manyo collection:
Flowers have always been a popular poetic subject dating back to ancient Japanese history. This is the theme for Sailor's Manyo bottled ink series. Based on popular flowers frequently mentioned in Japanese “Manyoshu” – an anthology of compiled ancient poems – Sailor has chosen eight dye-based ink colors to best represent this vibrant palette range.
"Manyosyu" - Collection of Ten Thousand Leaves - is the oldest (c.759) and most revered anthology of Japan's poetic compilations. Over a period of four centuries, 4,516 poems were written by every class of person ranging from Emperors to merchants and farmers. "Manyo" is an abbreviation of "Manyosyu" and its meaning indicates people of all ranks.
"Manyosyu" is often regarded in Japan as a true expression of the Japanese spirit. The themes of the poems relate to love, elegies, nature, the seasons, and so on. Flowers are especially relevant in Japanese culture and about 1,500 of the poems in "Manyosyu" cover some 160 species of plants and 50 different flowers.

Customer Reviews
The colour change while writing with the Magna Carta Mag600 Is Amazing and beautiful. Highly recommend.
This made me so happy! The packaging was very cute and secure, and came with basic fountain pen instructions and a complimentary sticker + tootsiepop. It felt like receiving a mini gift in addition to my purchase. The ink is lovely and exactly what I was looking for.
Very beautiful ink. My only wish it would always available for purchasing. Out of all inks I currently own - hands down my favourite. Smooth writing experience. On tomoe river paper looks stunning!!!
This ink has a faint smell of watercolor! Pretty cool.
I have written a few pages with this ink in my Lamy 2000 and the performance is excellent. It flows smoothly, creating a slight gradient in every letter where the last bit of ink escapes the nib, and while it might be a touch too light for some people coming out if a fine point, I truly love the color. In a calligraphy nib or a music nib this ink leaves beautiful lines with a pretty gradient and makes every stroke of the pen meaningful. I highly recommend this ink, even with the price.
