Product Description
Sumomo (Plum Blossom) Ink: Sumomo is a red ink inspired by the early-blooming sumomo fruit, which was a precursor to the cherry blossoms that symbolize spring in Japan. This ink captures the early signs of spring, evoking the warmth and blossoming nature of the fruit. Sailor’s Manyo Ink collection is not only a tribute to the poetic legacy of the Heian period but also a deep dive into the food culture of the time.
The inks embody the colors, seasons, and symbolism of the foods that shaped life in ancient Japan, from the simple meals of the common people to the lavish banquets of the aristocracy. Each ink offers a visual and emotional connection to the food culture and poetic traditions of the past.
Here we have made the swatch for each color and you will be able to see the actual shades.
