Kuretake Co., Ltd. was established in 1902 at Nara in Japan. Since then, by combining our Sumi Ink(Japanese Calligraphy Ink) with our own technological developments, we have achieved recognition as a manufacturer of high quality stationery products. With confidence that we could utilize our unique knowledge of multi-colored pigment inks, we decided to expand into Art & Crafts industry.

In the 1970's, Japan experienced nationwide depression during the post-war recession. People everywhere sought out low priced yet high quality stationery productions, and in this era came the birth of the new 'Kuretake ZIG' Fine liner pen. ZIG comes from the word 'zigzag', a concept based on the fluid, back and forth motion which comes with writing.

Our Origins are rooted in sumi, the traditional Japanese ink used for calligraphy. This heritage has influenced the development of our products, including the GANSAI TAMBI line of traditional Japanese watercolors. The GANSAI TAMBI collection offers a variety of color sets, from the vibrant Starry Colors to the shimmering Pearl Colors and the rich Gem Colors. Each set is non-toxic and made in Japan, with a focus on high-quality pigments and smooth application.
