Product Description
Sailor Manyo Kuri is a beautiful brown fountain pen ink inspired by the color of Japanese chestnuts (kuri), a beloved autumn delicacy in Japan. The ink’s rich, earthy tone mirrors the deep brown of the chestnut's outer shell and the inner warmth of its edible nut, evoking the nostalgic feeling of autumn harvests and traditional foods. Beyond its visual beauty, chestnuts have significant cultural and symbolic meanings in Japanese history and poetry.
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.
Here we have made the swatch for each color and you will be able to see the actual shades.
