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.

  • Features their distinctive writing instrument collection and glass display case
  • Hand illustration of their actual pricing display stands
  • Tourist Pumpkin, posing with the maneki-neko, a traditional Japanese feline figurine which is often believed to bring good luck to the owner

Shimmery turquoise

A nice, bright, summery turquoise that leans slightly more teal than cyan, there is so much shimmer in this ink that it becomes almost gilded with glistening sea waves. The shimmer is a pale blue rather than a silver and gives a nice tone on tone effect. The box perfectly reflects the colour of the ink, though the illustration reflects the collaboration rather than the name.

A tad more teal than sample images shown on the website, but still beautiful nonetheless.

Vibrant and joyous.

Writes beautifully. Although on the wet side, it writes well without bleeding on a regular-type paper and it’s simply a joy to write on Midori paper. The blue shimmer is subtle and a beautiful addition to this ink. This may be my favourite Ferris Wheel Press ink so far.
