Ginza Tsutaya Bookstore has collaborated with stationery manufacturer Tag stationery to create an original five-color mini ink set that lets you evoke the seasonal mountain scenery. This small-volume ink set allows you to easily change colors to suit your needs.

There are many things that express the seasons, but I believe that mountain scenery in particular is a source of delight as its appearance changes in various ways with the seasons. We likened Ginza, where the idea was conceived, to a mountain and imagined, "What kind of expression would it have if there was a mountain in Ginza?" We then used seasonal mountain words and colors to express the changing appearance of the mountains with the seasons and five scenes that arise when seeing those views.


■Smiling mountains: Dull young leaves
A gentle spring scene where lush green leaves are beginning to sprout, while still retaining a hint of winter.
■Dripping mountains: Green water leaves
A summer mountain filled with moisture, where flowers grow in abundance.
■Golden mountains: Beautiful yellow leaves
The autumn leaves of the trees sparkle in the sunlight, beautifully coloring the entire mountain.
■ Winter Curtain: Asleep of the Mountain
The dry air of the colorless winter mountains creates a slightly lonely scene, making you feel the distance from the city.
■ Shinonome Kiaka: Singing of the Mountains
A joyous scene in which the mountain, enveloped in the light of dawn, suddenly awakens, as if you can hear the song at any moment.

We hope you will enjoy creating a mountain of Ginza and writing each character slowly, enjoying the view from the summit along with the names of the colors.
