To celebrate the 5th anniversary of Sailor Manyo inks, Sailor has developed a new line called "Manyo Ink in Love." This collection is inspired by the "Manyoshu," the oldest and most revered anthology of Japanese poetry, which contains many poems about love. Each poem selected by Sailor for this collection highlights an element of nature, reflected in the color of the ink.
The Asagiri ink from this collection is inspired by the following poem:
"Because we have only met vaguely, like the morning fog,
I continue to love you as if my life were about to end."
Sailor presents five limited edition colors, each with a gold-stamped label to commemorate this anniversary.
The Asagiri ink, a red fountain pen ink, is presented in a 50 ml square bottle with a limited edition label bearing the name "Asagiri 朝霧". This color and the others in the collection are based on flowers mentioned in the "Manyoshu," an anthology comprising 4,516 poems written by people of all ranks, from emperors to merchants and farmers. The name "Manyo" is an abbreviation of "Manyoshu," meaning "ten thousand leaves," representing people of all social classes.

In 1911 Mr. Sakata and his brother founded the “Sakata-Manufactory” to produce solid gold nibs.
In 1917 the factory relocated to the next town Hamadacho and the Company changed the name to “Sailor Pen Sakata-Manufactory Co., Ltd.” The Company started manufacturing fountain pens here in volumes.
The Company reached a turning point on 27th May 1926 when Imperial Prince Hirohito (Prince Regent, later Emperor Showa) visited the factory to encourage the industry. This was a great honour for a small company with 300 employees established only 15 years previously.
Taking this opportunity, The SAILOR Pen Company aquired significant credibility and notoriety nationwide.
