Three kinds of original ink “Edo color ink
In collaboration with stationery and miscellaneous goods manufacturer Tag Stationery in Kyoto, we planned the fourth original Edo ink. The newly released three colors are based on the concept of “Edo Japanese sweets” with the theme of “Edo period” when sweets and snack culture flourished. It can express the color of cute Japanese sweets and is characterized by vivid colors with shades.
A total of 3 new colors are created with the image of the transparency of traditional sweets such as “Kinpeito” and the baked color of “Rakugan”.
Edo color ink from Ginza Tsutaya Shoten is a series that expresses various cultures that blossomed in the Edo period with ink. This time, with the concept of “Japanese sweets color of Edo”, the feature is a deep spring-like color. If you write a letter or note with this ink, you will feel particularly gorgeous.
It’s a spring season and it’s a very pleasant season. By all means, let’s enjoy springtime house time with Edo Japanese sweets-colored ink.

The Hiroshima Museum of Art is hosting the exhibition “ZIPANGU: Contemporary Artists Who Defined the Heisei Era” (November 2, 2024 – December 22, 2024). This showcase brings together works by some of the most prominent figures in Japan’s contemporary art scene, including Yayoi Kusama, Takashi Murakami, Makoto Aida, Yoshitomo Nara, Chiharu Shiota, Izumi Kato, Akira Yamaguchi, and Miwa Komatsu. The exhibition has already garnered significant attention, exceeding 10,000 visitors.
HYAKKEI covered the dialogue between contemporary artist Takashi Murakami and Sueo Mizuma, the curator of this exhibition, held at the RIHGA Royal Hotel Hiroshima. We also conducted an exclusive interview with Mr. Mizuma.
The discussions centered on the aspirations behind the ZIPANGU exhibition and offered forward-looking insights, not only into Japan’s art world but also into the rediscovery of value within Japanese culture by its people.
