The Manyo Ink collection by Sailor Pen, Japan draws inspiration from Manyo-shu, Japan’s oldest anthology of poetry. Each ink color captures the beauty of nature — from blooming flowers and shifting skies to tranquil waters — just as described in the verses of ancient poets. Formulated with Sailor’s renowned water-based dye ink technology, Manyo inks deliver smooth, consistent flow and vivid shading that delights writers and artists alike.
Takenoko, meaning bamboo shoot, represents the fresh growth of bamboo in early spring. In Japanese culture, bamboo shoots symbolize vitality, renewal, and the promise of new beginnings. This color is part of the fourth edition of Sailor Manyo inks released around July 2024, which introduced both regular and limited edition colors inspired by traditional Japanese plants and seasonal ingredients. Takenoko features a warm yellow-green tone reminiscent of young bamboo shoots, bringing a natural and refreshing character to writing and journaling.
