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:
  1. Animals from Ferris Wheel Press visiting the stationery floor of Tsutaya Books
  2. Known for their chic, modern industrial interior design, they provide a comfortable environment to soak in an extensive collection of literature, art, as well as cultural and lifestyle goods. 
  3. The shop includes an extensive offering of books and magazines, a stunning  art gallery, as well as whisky bar and cafe  
  4. The packaging features their recognizable service counter, created from modern wood paneling. The ink colour is inspired by their brass display tables which house all of their products. 
Notable items on shelves include:
  1. “e-do no wagashi” which is a collaboration between Ginza Tsutaya Books and a wagashi( Japanese traditional snack) maker, which has over 100 years of history. Inside the product, there are cookies designed like a fountain pen’s nib and book shape (since we are a bookstore).
  2. Kintsugi (金継ぎ) notebook. A product that actually sells in our store. Kintsugi is a traditional technique usually used in repairing tableware.
  3. 6 animals visiting from Canada, can you find them all?
