Sailor Manyo Fountain Pen Ink (50mL) - Kikyou

New from Sailor is the Manyo ink collection—available exclusively outside of Japan—a selection of sixteen colours inspired by the flowers referenced in Manyoshu, or "Collection of Ten Thousand Leaves"; an anthology of ancient Japanese poetry. Themes of love, travel, celebration, and the passage of time are prominent, but it is the Japanese flora that takes centre stage, with more than 1,500 of the poems referencing plants and flowers.

Ink up with these vibrant hues to remind you of the sunshine on a warm summer's day, of the resilient flowers that grow along the sidewalk, the kaleidoscope of colours in icicles, or to chase the winter blues away.

A very good writing experience

In a medium nib writing line, this particular colour is notably darker than the swatch... which is exactly what I wanted! It offers a very subtle shading, but the line is evenly solid and very, very legible for those of us with less than stellar cursive. Flow is good, there's very little spread on decent paper (which is what helps with legibility I think), and the ink is working well for me with fine, medium, and medium stub nibs. A high quality ink.
