Greetings from Tokyo!
We’re back from our first-ever trip to Taiwan’s Tainan Pen Show, and what an experience it was! We had so much fun preparing our booth and unveiling the many special things we have prepared. To all our new friends in Tainan, thank you for making it so memorable.
Now, for our friends in Japan, we’re excited to announce that Wanderlust will be at this year’s Tokyo International Pen Show (TIPS), held from November 2-4 at the Tokyo Metropolitan Industrial Trade Center Hamamatsucho. We’re recreating our Tainan booth with all the special things you loved, plus even more exclusive treats to celebrate our love for pens and stationery!
Here’s what’s in store at our booth:
🌸 Wanderlust Stamp Corner
We adore stamps at Wanderlust, so we’re bringing our shop stamps for you to enjoy! We’ve also decided to bring our exclusive Tainan Pen Show stamp, for those of you who weren’t able to make it to the event. So make sure to bring your journals and stamp away—let’s create beautiful memories together!
🍹 Bubble Tea Glass Pen Bar
Our crowd-favorite Bubble Tea Glass Pens are back! Choose your “milk flavor”—taro, matcha, mango, strawberry, or milk tea—and watch as Esther fills your glass pen with your chosen flavor. Watch each pen turn into a mini masterpiece, personalized just for you.
❄️ Limited Edition Soda Boba Pen-guin by Hanabi Glass Studio
These TIPS-exclusive glass pens are a play on our Bubble Tea glass pens. They feature adorable little penguins as "boba pearls", swimming in blue "soda". Get yours before they waddle away!
✒️ Glass Pen Try-On Corner
Take our beautiful handmade glass pens for a spin! Switch inks, explore different papers, and enjoy the artistry in every stroke. We welcome everyone to experience the elegance of our pens.
🐧 Gachapon Fun!
For the first time ever, we are bringing a gachapon machine with original Wanderlust goodies! Try your luck and get delightful hariko penguins holding mini stationery treasures. Each design is a surprise, so come try your luck!
We will be bringing our Yakusugi wood pencils, with all the magic that Yakushima has!
Of course, we also have a lot of The Superior Labor products on hand as well. This is your chance to see and touch them in person so you can find the one that speaks to you. We will be bringing different types of leather in different sizes, so please have a look! We’re ready to tell you all about our products - just ask away!
Ticket Information
Tickets are available on-site, but we recommend securing yours online in advance. Be careful of the opening hours per day, as they change. Nov 2 (Sat) is only open for 4 hours, but it’s the most expensive ticket because you’ll have access to the best stock, including limited edition items. Nov 4 (Mon) is the cheapest ticket, but by this time, most of the items may have been sold already.
We really really hope to see you at TIPS. As a bonus, we have free postcards for anyone who visits our booth, so please come say hi! Even if you’re a longtime lover of fountain pens or just a stationery lover in general, our Wanderlust booth has something for everyone. We cannot wait to greet you with our smiles and enthusiasm for all things stationery.
