Inky Review: NEW! Sailor Manyo dual shading series - Fuji

彩墨试色:新品!写乐万叶系列 - Fuji紫藤花

Finally updating more review blog! I tested positive for Covid at the beginning of this month. I have been taking some rest ever since. Now I am finally back for more review posts.

失踪人口回归啦!之前新冠🐏了在家休息,都没怎么更笔记。现在回归努力更新啦~


Sailor released 4 dual shading inks earlier this year, which are Hinoki, Koke, Ayame and Fuji. This blog post is all about Fuji, which means wisteria flowers. I saw them on European websites last month. But now you can order them on Canadian websites as well. I just got mine yesterday and I am so excited about this new ink.

写乐万叶新出了四个层析色,分别是hinoki,koke,ayame和fuji。这次带来的试色是紫色的Fuji,中文名我猜应该是叫紫藤花。我上个月就在欧洲的文具网站看到了,不过7月中开始加拿大的文具网站也上架了,我是昨天刚收到的。


The ink blobs on the paper appear to be purple with a tiny bit of dark green or dark purple grey shading on the edges. In writing, it can transition from grey purple to bright purple depending on the amount of ink. With small nib sizes, like Fine or Extra Fine, it writes more like grey purple colour.

The overall impression of Sailor manyo Fuji is very close to Sailor studio 123 and 343, with 123 having a purple red shading colour, 343 having a dark purple grey base tone while Fuji has an authentic purple shading. I may make a side-by-side comparison post in the future.

墨水量大的时候的紫色会更明显,细尖例如F尖会感觉更灰紫一点。

紫藤色整体和写乐工坊123,343比较鬼打墙,但是仔细看会还是不一样。Fuji的紫更正宗不偏色,123的紫偏红,343是更深的紫灰,有机会我下次再出个试色对比的笔记。



This quality of the new Manyo series feels similar to the previous Manyo series and also the studio series. It has the same smell and same amount of flow (average, not dry or wet). For shading property, the ability to show the multichromatic shading colours is also similar to Sailor studio 123 and 224, and stronger than 343. You can easily see the shading colours on Tomoe River or Midori paper, even with a small nib size like a Fine nib.

新色的彩墨和以往的万叶,工坊系列差不多,不水枪也不节制,就正常出墨量,味道也差不多。层析能力比较强,和123,224之类的层析能力持平,用F尖在巴川纸或者Midori的纸上都可以看得到层析。50ml大容量比20ml的工坊更耐用,喜欢123的话,可以考虑一下Fuji
