Sailor Shikiori Yozakura Fountain Pen Ink Cartridge

[Description]

”Cherry petals float down spring night streams where snow melts away.” This ink draws inspiration from such a scene.

Part of the Sailor Shikiori Collection, this ink belongs to the Tsukiyo no Minamo (月夜の水面) series, meaning ”Water’s Surface Under Moonlight.” Taking inspiration from this motif, the mini-series shows the poetic beauty of water surfaces in darkness in different seasons, capturing momentary glimmers within the flow of eternal time. 

Yozakura (夜桜) means ”cherry blossoms at night.” This ink adds hints of gray and violet to its cherry blossom pink base, evoking the cool serenity of water surfaces on early spring nights. It’s an elegant color that captures the essence of Japanese aesthetics.

Water-based dye ink cartridges. SHIKIORI ink cartridges are undergoing a packaging change. The old packaging contained 3 pcs in a plastic case, while the new packaging contains 8 pcs in a paper box.

This color is also available in 20ml bottled form. 

* Please use with SAILOR fountain pens only. Using with other brands may result in leakage or damage to your pen.

What is Shikiori?

Shiki-ori (四季織) means ”four seasons weaving”. It is one of Sailor’s most iconic collections. The changing seasons are both a daily reality and an eternal source of inspiration for art and poetry. Sailor embraces these seasonal themes, creating colors inspired by traditional Japanese natural landscapes and literary imagery, bringing these wonderfully varied hues into our writing lives.

The complete ink collection currently includes five series: 16 colors of Izayoi no Yume (十六夜の夢, ”Dreams of Sixteen Nights”), 4 colors of Tsukiyo no Minamo (月夜の水面, ”Water’s Surface Under Moonlight”), 4 colors of Amaoto (雨音, ”Sound of Rain”), 4 colors of Otogibanashi (おとぎばなし, ”Fairy Tales”); and 4 colors of Sansui (山水, ”Natural Landscape”).
