To celebrate the 5th anniversary of the Manyo ink, this Sailor Pro Gear Slim special fountain pen is available for a limited time with a combination of new and limited-edition colored Manyo inks.
In accord with the ‘food’ theme of this time’s Manyo new ink, the cap top design also features a food motif.
Red Bean: The body color is a combination of Manyo Ink AZUKI (Red Bean) and AKA-MAI (Ancient rice), and comes with a 50ml bottle of Manyo Azuki ink.
Nowadays, azuki is often eaten sweetened, but in the Heian period it was eaten either without seasoning or with salt. Aka-mai was the first rice introduced to Japan, also known as ancient rice.
