Product Description
Sailor Manyo Budo ink beautifully captures the essence of wild grapes, with its deep purple hue evoking the rich color of the fruit as it ripens. Beyond just a visual representation, this ink connects to the cultural and practical uses of wild grapes in the Heian period—both as a food source and as a valuable dye. The ink pays tribute to the resourcefulness of the time, where nature’s offerings were both nourishing and beautiful, enhancing the aesthetic and cultural fabric of Heian Japan. Whether you're using it for writing, drawing, or journaling, Manyo Budo serves as a reminder of the elegant, subtle beauty of wild grapes and their significance in both the culinary and artistic traditions of the past.
The inks embody the colors, seasons, and symbolism of the foods that shaped life in ancient Japan, from the simple meals of the common people to the lavish banquets of the aristocracy. Each ink offers a visual and emotional connection to the food culture and poetic traditions of the past.
