Sailor Manyo 5th Anniversary “Asagiri” — 50?mL (13?2009?304)
Limited Edition — Manyo 5th Anniversary Ink Series
Lineage & Inspiration
-
This ink is part of the Manyo 5th Anniversary (Manyo “in Love”) limited edition line, released to commemorate five years of the Manyo ink series by Sailor.
-
Sailor describes the concept: from the Manyoshu (an ancient Japanese poetry anthology) they selected poems about unrequited love, and paired each with a natural motif to inspire a corresponding ink color and emotional theme.
-
“Asagiri” (??) means morning fog— the poetic image suggests something ephemeral, soft, and veiled. The naming carries an emotional resonance (a love that is vague, lingering).
-
Sailor gives the product listing for Asagiri: code 13?2009?304, barcode 49?01680?19794?2.

Color, Visual Characteristics & Behavior
-
Base hue / appearance: Asagiri is described in vendor listings as a soft pink or gentle rosy color, likened to morning fog touched by dawn.
-
Shading & nuance: The color is said to exhibit beautiful nuances and shading — lighter and darker tones appear depending on ink flow, nib, and paper.
-
Sheen / shimmer: In official specifications, no shimmer is listed (i.e. no metallic particles).
-
Sheen / halo / special effects: Though shimmer is absent, reviewers observed halo or gold sheen effects under certain conditions (e.g. heavier strokes, certain paper) when using Asagiri.
-
Saturation & contrast: The ink is fairly soft in saturation (not very dark), but strong shading and contrast are possible on good paper and with broader nibs.
-
Water resistance: As a dye ink, it is not water-resistant — exposure to moisture can cause smudging or washing.
Performance & Practical Use
-
Flow & writing feel: The Manyo 5th Anniversary inks are described as smooth and well-behaved.
-
Start / reliability: No notable reports of hard starts; the inks behave reliably in normal writing conditions.
-
Drying time: Because Asagiri (and similar Manyo inks) are relatively light in color and with shading, drying times may vary (faster in fine lines, slower in heavy lines) — reviewers noted that heavier application can delay drying.
-
Feathering / bleed / show-through: On good-quality, fountain-pen-friendly paper the behavior is excellent (minimal feathering). On more absorbent or lower-grade paper, shading and subtlety may suffer, and some show-through or bleed may appear.
-
Ease of cleaning: As a dye ink, it is relatively straightforward to flush and clean from pens (no heavy particulate deposits).
Emotional & Aesthetic Appeal
-
Asagiri is intended not just as a color, but as a visual-poetic metaphor: it evokes the fragility and ephemeral beauty of morning fog, symbolizing a subtle, perhaps unspoken love.
-
Because of its soft pink tone, with shading, it occupies a unique place — distinct from bright or bold pinks, yet expressive and emotive.
-
It is appealing to those who enjoy inks that feel like “poetry in color” — that carry narrative, mood, and subtle character beyond just hue.

Color & Visual Behavior
-
Base / dominant hue: Soft pink, described as evoking “morning fog” muted pink tones
-
Shading / nuance: Significant shading is noted in reviews; lighter and darker tones manifest depending on flow, nib, and paper
-
Sheen / halo / special effects:
- Official spec lists No shimmer (i.e. no particulate glitter)
- Some users have observed gold halo / sheen effects on heavier strokes or on favorable paper (especially Midori MD) under heavier application -
Water resistance: None — as a dye ink it is not marketed or rated for water / wash resistance
Performance & Usage Characteristics
-
Flow / Wetness: Described as smooth-flowing; Manyo 5th Anniversary inks maintain good legibility and fluid performance
-
Drying / speed: Because of soft, light color and shading, heavier strokes may take longer to dry — reviews mention the need for heavier application to bring out effects
-
Feathering / bleed / show-through: On quality, fountain-pen-friendly paper, behavior is good (minimal feathering). On less ideal / absorbent paper, shading and subtlety may be lost, and show-through may increase
-
Ease of cleaning: Because the ink is dye-based and not pigmented, it is reasonably easy to flush out, without heavy residue (given moderate use)
Thematic & Aesthetic Context
-
The Manyo 5th Anniversary line is built around unrequited love — Sailor selected poems from Manyoshu referencing love, and crafted inks whose names reference nature motifs in those poems. Asagiri gets its name from the concept of morning fog.
-
The poetic line associated with Asagiri:
“Because we have only met vaguely, like the morning fog, I continue to love you as if my life were about to end.”
-
In reviews, Asagiri is characterized as the lightest of the 5th Anniversary inks — a soft pink with subtle orange undertones, needing heavier application to bring out halo or sheen
-
The limited edition nature, aesthetic look, and poetic backing make it desirable among collectors and ink enthusiasts.
