Sailor Manyo Aka-Mai - Ink Sample (Limited Edition)
2ml sample of Sailor Manyo Aka-Mai (Ancient Rice) brown fountain pen ink, in a labeled plastic vial.
Aka-Mai: The first rice introduced to Japan—Kodai-Mai. This deep, earthy tone is inspired by the rice that sustained life during the Heian period.
This limited edition ink is available only for a short time and with a limited production run.
Sailor continues to take inspiration from the food culture of Japan’s Heian period, as described in the Manyoshu, Japan’s oldest anthology of poetry. These limited edition inks reflect the colors of the foods that nourished both commoners and aristocrats of the era. Each ink is a beautiful nod to the rich culinary history of Japan, and just like the previous release, they are perfect for collectors, writers, and anyone who appreciates the art of ink.
Sailor Manyo inks are smooth-flowing water-based dye inks, specifically formulated to be safe for all fountain pens.
