Sailor Manyo Fuji

[dragondazd]

I bought a bottle of Sailor Mnyo Fuji based on limited photos and a description of purple and amethyst. I was mighty disappointed. Turned out to be more like purple and greyish-blue or greyish-green depending on the paper. It was like a muddy nekoyanagi or weak 123.

 

The writing is more legible than this photo indicates but still not great in fine nibs.

 

 

It's ok. Sometimes it's very pretty. I don't love it.

I'm sorry to hear that! But it looks like a nice colour for drawing and washes

Thank you for showing it!  It is not for me, but then it might look great in Pilot Parallel or some other insanely large/broad nib.

The square of color is gorgeous, but its way to faint for me. Wonderful review though, thank you.

Thanks for sharing. Have been considering that one.

Well you've saved me the disappointment.  I thought I might like this one and almost bought it a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks for showing this ink - looks really pale and too light for writing. But might be a nice ink to draw with.

I found this ink to be quite usable on Tomoe River Paper:

 

 

 

I used Sailor Zoom nibs or Platinum Coarse nibs. The Fuji ink was in a Sailor Wicked Witch of the West pen with a Zoom nib. Thanks to @amberleadavis for the Tomoe River Paper.

Glad you are using it!

Just ordered a sample of this. Looks pretty good in a letter I just received....
