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.
Budo, meaning grape, embodies the richness and calm of late summer vineyards. This deep blue-purple ink with soft magenta undertones reflects the color of sun-warmed grapes at twilight. Depending on the pen and paper, it shades beautifully from dark indigo to velvety plum, revealing a gentle reddish sheen in areas of heavy ink.
