Kuretake GANSAI TAMBI Metallic Watercolor Paint Set - 24 Colors, Professional Quality for Beginners, Kids, and Adults

OUR Origins are rooted in sumi. The Kuretake brand represents the arts and crafts lifestyle with the use of color and shapes. The colors 'Black' represents Tradition and 'Yellow and Purple' representing Innovation of brushes, pens and paints to support our customer artistic lifestyle. The shapes of circle, square, and triangle represent the creation of arts and crafts.

'ZIG' is the brand name for Kuretake’s pen and marker which has been loved by many people. In the 1970’s, during the post-war recession, Japan experienced nationwide depression. 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. The word 'ZIG' comes from 'zigzag', a concept based on the fluid, back and forth motion which comes with writing.

Kuretake Co., Ltd. was established in Nara, Japan in 1902. 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 in our unique knowledge of multi-colored pigment inks, we decided to expand into the Art & Crafts industry.

GANSAI TAMBI, a traditional Japanese watercolor paint set, is included in our product range. It is suitable for beginners, professional artists, and crafters. The Gansai Tambi collection consists of gorgeous metallic and pearlescent colors, inspired by nature, that dissolve quickly. The Gansai Tambi pans are larger than typical watercolor pans, making it easy to use both small and large brushes.

We also offer unique pigment ink that leaves flat-washes easily and can be blended easily. Gansai Tambi ink can be diluted to create a watercolor-like picture while maintaining bright and opaque colors. The ink dries with a slight sheen.

Our Gansai Tambi set includes five new colors (No.832 GEM CORAL, No.96 COPPER, No.862 GEM LAPIS LAZULI, No.851 GEM TURQUOISE, No.820 GEM BLACK), gold colors from the Starry Colors set and 36/48 colors set, five vivid shimmering colors from the Gem Colors set, and five pearlescent colors from the Pearl Colors set.
