Manyosyu -- Collection of Ten Thousand Leaves -- is the oldest and revered anthology of Japan's poetic compilations. Over a period of four centuries, 4516 poems were written by every class of person ranging from Emperors to merchants and farmers. Manyo is an abbreviation of Manyosyu and its meaning indicates people of all ranks.
"Manyosyu" is often regarded in Japan as a true expression of the Japanese spirit. The themes of the poems relate to love, elegies, celebrations, family matters, traveling, the passage of the four seasons, nature, and so on. Flowers are especially relevant in Japanese culture and about 1500 of the poems in Manyosyu cover some 160 species of plants and 50 different flowers.

t
thistle Sailor makes very nice inks! This ink is a spring green with some slight complexity - a cheerful new-growth green, but with some depth. With a smaller nib it writes as seen in the sample image, but with a broader nib and on the right paper it will show some pretty shading. It flows well and is easy to write with. It's dark enough to be legible in longer writing. A nice cheerful green for spring, in a natural shade inspired by Japanese duckweed.
