Pigment Tokyo is a temple to color, and I was able to visit this famous shop, purchase pigments I want to turn into paints, and wallow in the joy that comes from having countless choices that run the full length of the store.
P.S. I should show that, shouldn't I? I'll add one more photo here:
(See what I mean? And yes, I lost my mind in the best sense.)
I also made a special trip out to Kawachi Art Supplies, where I met the owner in her home studio (downstairs in the building at center bottom), got to see where she makes oil pastels by hand, and purchase a set of them.
The colors are gorgeous! And the texture is so buttery... I'm giddy to use these.
