2ml sample of Sailor Manyo Fuji dual shading fountain pen ink, in a labeled plastic vial. This smooth-flowing water-based dye ink is specifically formulated to be safe for all fountain pens.

Fuji is a light amethyst purple that shades out to other purples. As part of the third release in the Manyo ink series, Fuji is a dual shading ink, which means it shades different colors than its base colors when pooling into areas of high and low concentration on the paper. Dual shading inks are really fascinating.

Goulet pro tip: This ink looks particularly stunning on water-resistant paper like Tomoe River.

Due to the nature of this particular ink, there can be slight variations in the color. This is completely normal. However we have highlighted the most common color swatch we have seen in our images, but your sample or bottle might vary slightly.

Lovely color but

I do love these muted shades from Sailor. But, I find them to be very dry. When I pair the ink with a thirsty stub nib, I find there just isn't enuf flow to make a dark enuf mark to see anything beyond pale. And there isn't any shading because it's just too dry. I know it isn't the pen nib because this same nib can easily deliver tons of inks like a noodler's or monteverde. But, they are pretty colors for sure! YMMV?

Nice shading. A really nice color for art projects and is legible in writing.

Shading madness

Nice purple color with shading blue and green. It is a safe purchase to try chromashading inks because the ink is more darker than other sailor shading inks.

Love this color!

Sailor Manyo is probably my favorite ink (top five anyway). My one issue is that I've purchased over 50 ink samples and the sizing is all over the place. Not sure if some ink is just heavier or something but that's my only real complaint.

FAQ about Ink Samples

How do I fill my fountain pen from an ink sample vial? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

It depends on the fountain pen's filling mechanism.

Check out our blog post on How to Fill a Fountain Pen from an Ink Sample Vial.

How much writing can I do with 2ml of ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

It really depends on how big or small you write, and the nib size you’re using. We find that usually you can get 2 good fills for a typical converter with our Ink samples, or one good fill with a piston-filling pen. How much writing depends on you more than anything else, so we recommend experimenting with different nib sizes to find what works best for you. 

What is shading, sheening, or shimmering ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Shading - A common (and often desired) result of a fountain pen ink pooling in certain parts of a letter when writing, so that the color and saturation of the ink appears different within a single letter or word. This characteristic cannot be achieved with ballpoint or rollerball pens and is a very appealing aspect of fountain pen use for those particularly drawn to all the pretty ink colors.

Sheen - Characteristic of a fountain pen ink where when ink pools another color can be seen on top of the ink, especially when looked at in different light angles using certain paper types. There is no way to guarantee an ink will sheen, but using a larger nib on a pen will help obtain sheening results in your writing.

Shimmering - Fountain pen ink that has small particles of glitter mixed in.

Is shimmering ink safe to use in fountain pens? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Yes! Shimmering ink is a great way to add some flare to your writing. We have found that a larger nib will showcase more shimmering particles while writing, but you can use any nib size and shimmering ink. All the ink we sell is safe for use in fountain pens.

You can learn more in our blog: How to Write with Shimmering Ink.
