📍Papertree Tokyo⁣
⁣
I made it to Papertree! This cozy shop is one of my favorites ❤️ I was able to refill my stockpile of nibs, metallic watercolors and Tomoe River paper.⁣
⁣
I was there at the beginning of fall and it has been raining the whole day! The shop was a welcome respite from the rain and wished I could stay longer (my husband and kids were waiting outside with onigiris 😂). ⁣
⁣
Hoping to be back soon!⁣

Sailor ink writing sample: kitsune biyori 🖋️⁣
⁣
Sharing here my first time filling up my pen with ink. It’s a bit darker on the Rhodia dotted pad, probably because the ink sinks onto the paper. Next, I will try on coated paper to see the difference. ⁣
⁣
Enjoy the process ❤️⁣

One of the highlights of my recent trip to Tokyo was going to Ancora Ginza 🖋️⁣
⁣
Here’s a peek at what this shop has to offer. The variety of inks and fountain pens are endless, but most people come here to make a custom fountain pen (watch my previous reel to see how I made mine!).⁣
⁣
If you love pens and inks, this place has to be on your itinerary the next time you’re in Tokyo. ⁣

📍Ancora Ginza, Tokyo⁣
⁣
I designed a custom Sailor fountain pen at Ancora Ginza. It was a lovely shop filled with inks and specialty fountain pens just a few minutes’ walk from Ginza station in Tokyo. ⁣
⁣
It’s a great experience and my teen daughter actually wanted to make one for herself the next time we come back (I can’t believe she said it). Watch till the end to see how my pen turned out!⁣
⁣
Will post the writing demo next🖋️⁣

📍Sekaido Shinjuku, Tokyo⁣
⁣
What I loved most about Sekaido was the vast selection of sumi ink and ink stones! Promised myself I won’t hoard so I just got myself a huge bottle of Moon Palace sumi ink. It’s so huge, I’m pretty sure it will last me a decade. Practical, that’s me 😂⁣
⁣
There were lots of paint brushes as well as a big selection of Daniel Smith gouache. The ground level had so much kawaii rubber stamps (which I told myself I’ll come back for next time).⁣

Practicing the basic forms of the capital stem ✍🏻⁣
⁣
My Spencerian capitals could be a lot better, so I thought I should revisit the ubiquitous capital stems. Lately I just write these over and over, trying to make the curves as graceful as possible ☺️⁣ Thank you @michaelrsull for creating this book, I’ll never get tired of learning from it!
