Description
Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolour Sets feature a range of carefully selected traditional Japanese water colours.
The rich intense colours come from the water-based pigments, which are more opaque than other water colour brands but the water-based pigment paint can be highly opaque when used solely as a gouache but can also become more transparent depending on the amount of water added dilution.Â
Kuretake’s more than 100 years of sumi ink making technology enables beautiful blotting and lifting.

They are highly blendable with a creamy smooth consistency.
They are ideal for sketching, illustration, sumi-e, brush lettering and more. Kuretake Gansai Tambi Water Colour Sets are handcrafted using traditional methods as such pan trays may show cracks or rough textures due to air bubbles. This does not affect the quality or performance.
Every water colour block is an individual tray that can be removed from the palette during use. Non-toxic and odourless.
We also sell the individual refills.

Occasionally, some Gansai Japanese Pan Colours may display fine cracks (or ‘crazing’) in their pans. This is quite normal for these particular pan paint colours as they do not contain honey or glycerine as a humectant, it does not reflect on the quality of this beautiful traditional Japanese paint. These cracks do not affect the paint quality at all.
