AQUARINTH

Mariscal imagined quicksand, storms and steam tunnels for the children to experience real adventures.

Aquarinto was another of the worlds created by Javier Mariscal in the 90s. A fantasy world in the boring Huis Ten Bosch park in Nagasaki (recreation of a Dutch city but without its graces...). In their own words, it "scared the Japanese a bit". The main character is Nina, a very nice Dutch girl who together with the other characters, Robotin, Bigfoot, Dimoni, Gusanin, Berengeno, Espermin, Raspas, Pulpito and Joe guided the children in this underwater labyrinth of bubbles and fish, where finding hidden treasures and discovering fairytale mermaids was their thing.
