SAILOR MANYO INK SAKURA 50ML
Sailor Manyo Ink Sakura comes in a 50ml square bottle. Sakura is obviously the Cherry blossom. Cherry blossoms are generally a soft pink and while Manyo Sakura does have pink in it, it is dominated by an orange color.
A cherry blossom is a flower of many trees of genus Prunus. The most well-known species is the Japanese cherry, Prunus serrulata, which is commonly called sakura. Japan has a wide variety of cherry blossoms (sakura); well over 200 cultivars can be found there. The following species, hybrids, and varieties are used for sakura. (Thanks, Wikipedia)
This ink has many colors of the cherry blossoms combined in one ink; pink, peach, orange. Beautiful and delicate like the Sakura it represents and so much shading.
About the Sailor Manyo collection:
Flowers have always been a popular poetic subject dating back to ancient Japanese history. This is the theme for Sailor’s Manyo bottled ink series. Based on popular flowers frequently mentioned in Japanese “Manyoshu” – an anthology of compiled ancient poems – Sailor has chosen eight dye-based ink colors to best represent this vibrant palette range.
“Manyosyu” – Collection of Ten Thousand Leaves – is the oldest (c.759) and most revered anthology of Japan’s poetic compilations. Over a period of four centuries, 4,516 poems were written by every class of person ranging from Emperors to merchants and farmers. “Manyo” is an abbreviation of “Manyosyu” and its meaning indicates people of all ranks.
“Manyosyu” is often regarded in Japan as a true expression of the Japanese spirit. The themes of the poems relate to love, elegies, nature, the seasons, and so on. Flowers are especially relevant in Japanese culture and about 1,500 of the poems in “Manyosyu” cover some 160 species of plants and 50 different flowers.
