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.

Notable design details:

  • Inspired by the GINZA SIX building in Japan
  • Phoenix silhouette, statuesque icon that rests on the gas lamps found on the city streets in Ginza
  • Stationery silhouettes incorporated into the architecture of the building, i.e., fountain pen nib, rulers as beams, paper clips as door handles, bulldog clips as chandeliers, letterpress blocks in windows, books spines as glass window panes
  • 6 animals visiting from Canada, can you find them all?

Saturated Purple with Character

The sheen doesn't always come through, and depends a lot on the paper and pen, but the base purple is nice even by itself -- it's quite dark and could easily serve as a daily writer.

When you do get the right pen/paper combination to let the ink sit somewhat heavily on top and dry, the gold sheen mixed in with the purple looks quite regal.

Love it!

A rich and regal deep purple, exuding a sense of mystery. It writes incredibly smoothly — a perfect color for everyday use. This is my favorite one among all the inks I’ve fallen in love with at first sight.

Collaboration ink

Packaging is a bit different than other inks due to being a collab piece, and looks incredible.
