Kuretake Gansai Tambi 48 Colors Watercolor Paint Set

OUR Origins are rooted in sumi black ink and Japanese calligraphy. The Kuretake brand represents the arts and crafts lifestyle, blending tradition and innovation through brushes, pens, and paints. The colors black, yellow, and purple symbolize the timeless tradition and the unique innovation we bring to our customers' artistic journeys. Our logo, ZIG, encompasses our beloved pen and marker range, capturing the fluid motion of writing.

In the 1970s, Japan faced a post-war recession, leading to a nationwide depression. During this time, people sought affordable yet high-quality stationery products. It was during this era that the Kuretake ZIG Fine liner pen was born, designed to meet the demands of the market. With a workforce gifted in the art of combining Sumi ink with technological advancements, Kuretake Co., Ltd. was established in 1902 in Nara, Japan. This marked the beginning of our journey as a renowned manufacturer of superior stationery products.

Confident in our expertise with multi-colored pigment inks, we expanded into the art and crafts industry. Today, we offer a range of products that cater to the creative needs of our customers. From the GANSAI TAMBI watercolor sets in various colors and finishes to the versatile ZIG CLEAN COLOR REAL BRUSH markers and the ZIG 2 WAY GLUE, we strive to provide artists with tools that inspire their imagination.

Our products are loved by customers around the world, as evident from the numerous positive reviews. With ratings ranging from 4.5 to 4.9 out of 5 stars, our customers appreciate the quality and creativity our products bring to their artworks. Made in Japan with meticulous attention to detail, our products stand out for their non-toxic formulation and their ability to create beautiful, vibrant results.

The GANSAI TAMBI sets are a particular favorite among artists. These traditional Japanese watercolors capture the vivid and opaque colors found in nature. With smooth, non-granulated paint that dries with a subtle shine, these watercolors offer flexibility in technique. Whether it's achieving flat-washes or layering colors, GANSAI TAMBI watercolors deliver stunning results.

The large pans in each GANSAI TAMBI set allow for both small and large brush usage, enhancing brush dexterity. Additionally, every set includes a protective sheet to keep the pans secure and doubles as a palette mixer. For easy color identification, each box comes with a color chart to help artists quickly select the desired shade.

To ensure a delightful unboxing experience, our products come in elegant packaging, making them the perfect gift for any creative individual. The water-based pigment is ACMI-certified, guaranteeing its safety and quality.
