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.
Ayame, meaning iris, captures the elegance of the purple-blue flowers that bloom beside quiet ponds in early summer. This vivid bluish-purple ink shades beautifully from soft violet to deep indigo, echoing the graceful petals and tranquil water reflections of its namesake. Balanced, smooth, and expressive, it’s a favorite for journaling, art, and daily writing.
