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.

Kuzu, meaning arrowroot, embodies quiet strength and grace. Its dusty mauve-purple tone mirrors the earthy vines and blossoms of the wild kuzu plant that flourish across Japan. The ink reveals a captivating range—from soft lilac-gray to deeper plum—depending on pen and paper, offering remarkable shading and subtle depth.
