Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolor Paint Set, 5 Colors - Professional Quality, AP-Certified

Rooted in sumi ink tradition, the Kuretake brand embodies the arts and crafts lifestyle through the vibrant use of color and shapes. Black symbolizes tradition, while yellow and purple represent innovation in brushes, pens, and paints that cater to our customers' artistic pursuits. The circular, square, and triangular shapes embody the essence of creation in arts and crafts.

ZIG, the beloved brand name for Kuretake’s pens and markers, was born during Japan's post-war recession in the 1970s when people sought high-quality stationery at affordable prices. The word 'ZIG' derives from 'zigzag', reflecting the fluid motion of writing. Established in 1902 in Nara, Japan, Kuretake Co., Ltd. has become renowned for its high-quality stationery products by combining traditional Sumi Ink (Japanese Calligraphy Ink) with innovative technological advancements.

Our journey into the art and crafts industry led to the development of various products such as Gansai Tambi, Zig Clean Color Real Brush, Zig Clean Color Dot, Zig 2 Way Glue, Fude Pen, and Ink – each catering to different artistic needs. The Pigment collection offers dreamy textures with unique pigment particles, allowing for unlimited and unexpected outcomes when used with water. Ideal for landscapes, skies, plants, and lettering, these products add a natural and artistic touch to your creations.

The versatility of our paint sets extends to drawing, calligraphy, lettering, illustrations, fine art, and more, providing a platform for creating standout artwork. With larger pans than usual watercolor sets, our products accommodate brushes of all sizes, enhancing brush dexterity. Made in Japan, our products undergo rigorous quality control measures to ensure rich and subtle colors while prioritizing safety by being xylene-free and compliant with safety standards.
