The 50ml square glass bottle of Sailor Manyo Uri (Melon-Cucumber) green fountain pen ink. This crisp green hue captures the essence of cucumber, a refreshing delicacy in Heian cuisine. 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 Japans Heian period, as described in the Manyoshu, Japans 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.

Sailor pens was established in 1911 in Japan, becoming the first to produce fountain pens in their home country. They have subsequently built a first-class reputation in the manufacture of the highest quality nibs, with all parts made in their own factory in Hiroshima.
