From the brand
Kuretake
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, 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.
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.

[Flexible Techniques] Paints do not leave hard edges when dry, making flat-washes easy to accomplish, and are easy to layer with proper technique.
[Brush Dexterity] Gansai Tambi Pans are much larger than typical watercolor pans, giving you the ability to use both small or large brushes quite easily.
[Palette and Color chart included] Within each Gansai Tambi set is a protective sheet that not only keeps your pans from shifting but can be used as a palette mixer. Each box also includes a color chart so you can swatch the colors yourself and distinguish between them quickly.
[Beautiful Packaging, Ideal for Gift-giving] Water-based pigment is ACMI-certified, and packaged in a simple cardboard box with elegant green washi overlay. Perfect for gifts.
Customers say
Customers praise these watercolors for their rich, well-pigmented colors that are more opaque than regular watercolors and can be made transparent with more water. The paint set features large pans that accommodate larger brushes, and customers appreciate its smooth, creamy texture. They find the paints beautiful, with one customer noting the soft edges, and consider them excellent value for the price.
