Color & Visual Character
The Yozakura shade evokes the soft, fleeting beauty of cherry blossoms at dusk. It leans toward a muted pastel pink purple rather than a vivid or saturated pink.
Because of its subtle and delicate tone, Yozakura is often appreciated for gentle or decorative writing — for instance diary entries, light correspondence, or accent lines — where a bold dark color is not desired.
It is not known to include shimmer, metallic particles, or strong sheening properties.
Writing Behavior & Performance
-
The ink flows smoothly, delivering consistent lines without skipping (typical of Sailor’s cartridge inks).
-
Because it is a dye ink and not water?resistant, it is not suitable for use where heavy water exposure may occur.
-
Drying times will depend heavily on paper type and nib wetness; on absorbent papers, the lighter pigment may require a bit more time to fully dry.
-
Given its soft tone, line width (e.g. fine vs broad nib) will significantly influence legibility — broader or wetter nibs may deepen the hue, while extra fine nibs might render it too faint for some uses.
Some users report a faint, chemical or flowery scent when filling or writing, possibly related to preservatives or solvents used in the ink.
Packaging & Presentation
-
The three cartridges come in a small white plastic/resin case (with paper/cardboard outer) for safe transport and storage.
-
Each cartridge is labeled with the ink name (“Yozakura”) and a directional arrow to guide insertion.
-
The compact design allows fountain pen users to carry spares conveniently without needing to carry full bottles.
Additional Notes & Context
-
The Shikiori line is Sailor’s “Four Seasons” series, offering a wide palette of colors inspired by seasonal Japanese imagery. Yozakura is one member of this series.
-
While the cartridge version gives ease and convenience, Sailor also offers a 20mL bottled version of the same ink (Yozakura) for those who prefer using a converter or directly filling pens.
-
As with all fountain pen inks, proper cleaning and flushing of the pen is recommended when switching colors, especially with more delicate or lighter inks like Yozakura.

Color & Behavior / Performance Notes
-
Appearance / Tone: Yozakura leans toward a muted pastel pink / purple or “evening cherry blossom” impression rather than a bright, saturated pink.
-
Flow & Drying: It is described as a “smooth flowing” ink in product listings.
-
However, reviews suggest it is somewhat on the drier side. On certain papers (e.g. Kokuyo MIO), it can take ~15 seconds or more to fully dry.
-
It shows shading behavior, especially visible in broader nibs, though it does not present strong sheen.
-
One reviewer noted “a surprising amount of water resistance, particularly for a color that’s this light.”
-
-
Aroma / Scent: It is not officially marketed as scented. However, some users report detecting a faint “chemical / flowery / sweet” smell when handling or writing, possibly due to preservatives.
-
Paper & Nib Effects: Because it is light in tone, ink legibility can depend heavily on the paper quality and the nib’s wetness:
-
In fine or extra-fine nibs, the color might appear very pale.
-
On smoother, less absorbent paper, drying times may be longer; on more absorbent paper, it will dry faster but may feather or spread more.
-
The shading effect is more visible with wetter or broader nibs.
-
Packaging & Usage
-
Each cartridge is labeled with the ink name “Yozakura” and includes an arrow indicating the insertion direction.
-
The portable carrying case is useful for travel or carrying spare cartridges without risk of leakage.
-
Users sometimes reuse or repurpose the cartridge casing to hold clean or refilled cartridges.
