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.

Mistake

I bought this by mistake. But I figured why not try it out. And I don't get why this eink xists as it is. It's color is so unsaturated , the writing on the paper is unreadable. And the hue is just dark enough to not be a good highlighter ink. What is this ink for ???

Sample ink

I ordered a sample of this ink because I wanted to try it...I drew with it on my planner and love the soft pink, but it comes off somewhat lilac when writing...but I love all shades of purple... I'll be placing an order for the full bottle soon.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I fill my fountain pen from an ink sample vial? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

The technique depends on the fountain pen's filling mechanism.

How much writing can I really do with 2ml? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

We find that usually you can get 2 good fills for a typical converter with our ink samples, or one good fill with a large capacity piston-filling pen.

How much writing you can do depends on you more than anything else. It mostly depends on how big or small you write, and the nib size you’re using. We recommend experimenting with different nib sizes to find what works best for you.
