2ml sample of Sailor Manyo Kaki (Persimmon) orange fountain pen ink, in a labeled plastic vial.

A rich, warm orange reflecting the sweet persimmons enjoyed either ripe or dried during the Heian period.

This limited edition ink is available only for a short time and with a limited production run.

Sailor continues to take inspiration from the food culture of Japan’s Heian period, as described in the Manyoshu, Japan’s oldest anthology of poetry. These limited edition inks reflect the colors of the foods that nourished both commoners and aristocrats of the era. Each ink is a beautiful nod to the rich culinary history of Japan, and just like the previous release, they are perfect for collectors, writers, and anyone who appreciates the art of ink.

Sailor Manyo inks are smooth-flowing water-based dye inks, specifically formulated to be safe for all fountain pens.

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.
