Sailor Manyo Ink Bottle (Nagi - 50 ML) 13-2009-222
Nagi” is part of Sailor’s Manyo ink collection. The Manyo series draws its inspiration from Manyoshu — the ancient anthology of Japanese poetry — and in its fourth edition, colors are themed around food and nature imagery from the Heian period. Nagi is one of the “regular” colors in that edition.
The visual concept behind Nagi is tied to grasses in paddy fields and their late?summer blooms: the ink aims to evoke a turquoise / blue?violet tone suggestive of those quiet fields in evening light.

Color & Optical Behavior
-
Base Hue / Tone: A turquoise / blue?violet tint — leaning toward a cool, greenish-blue with a faint violet cast in some lighting.
-
Shading / Variation: Noticeable shading — lighter strokes appear softer and more diluted, while heavier strokes deepen into richer turquoise / bluish tones.
-
Sheen / Halo Effects: The published specifications indicate no shimmer (no metallic particles). Sheen is not prominent in official specs.
-
Water Resistance: None — the ink is not marketed as water?resistant; moisture or exposure to water may fade or wash the color.
-
Drying / Flow: It offers smooth flow but is not fast?drying, particularly in saturated strokes or on smooth, low?absorption papers.
Performance & Usage Notes
-
Flow & Feel: In general, Nagi is reported to flow smoothly in well?tuned pens.
-
Start / Reliability: No widespread issues of skipping or starting problems in standard pen use.
-
Feathering / Bleed / Show-through: On quality fountain?pen?friendly paper, behavior is good (minimal feathering). On more absorbent or lower-quality paper, clarity and nuance may degrade, and show-through may increase.
-
Cleaning / Maintenance: Because it is a dye-only ink (no particulate shimmer or pigment), it tends to flush and clean reasonably well from feeds and converters.
-
User Impressions:
-
Some describe the color as serene and evocative of twilight in rice paddies.
-
In more saturated use, the violet undercast becomes more visible, giving it subtle depth.
-
Others caution that in too fine or dry pens, the color may appear faint or less vibrant.
