Once Upon a Design

In the latest special edition ink series, the friendly animal cast of Ferris Wheel Press find themselves on a journey all the way to Japan, where they visit the home of Ginza Tsutaya Books in their award-winning building, the GINZA SIX.

In this collection, we start by appreciating the modern architectural elements of GINZA SIX, which also houses 13 of the most renowned luxury fashion brands in the world. We then venture into the stunning Tsutaya Books store, where our Canadian animal friends explore the wood and brass-clad stationery floor. Finally, we find ourselves arriving at one of Tsutaya Books’ signature display cases, which showcase writing instruments, stationery treasures, and precious objects from all over the world. Discover all the details of their incredible shop through our latest Curious Collaborations Series ink collection.

down by the sea

It is real blue like the sea. The shimmer is amazing!

Just like the waves

I was hesitant about buying this ink because of the shimmer, but it's very subtle. The color itself is a greenish blue, very lovely.

I love this ink, blue shimmer on a green-blue base feels like the real color of Tokyo Bay. I'm using it with a Medium Carousel pen which shows the full color on paper and also I inked an extra fine pen from a Japanese brand with this ink which showed a totally different look on paper that I also love. The Japanese name for this ink is "Umi no naka no bunguya san/ stationery store in the sea" just describes the design on the box, as well as the color of this ink! Quite fitting to Tsutaya Books, I think 💖
