Product Description
Sailor Manyo Nagi is a unique green fountain pen ink with blue-purple undertones, inspired by the grass called nagi (or nagi-no-hana) that grows in Japanese paddy fields. This grass produces small blue-purple flowers in late summer, which, along with its leaves and stems, have been used in food and various cultural practices for centuries. The color of the ink itself seems to reflect the plant's earthy, natural green tones combined with the subtle purple hue of its late-summer blossoms.
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.
