Kuretake Gansai Tambi Painting Kit

Discover Kuretake's Gansai Tambi Japanese Painting Set, perfect for illustration, sketching, traditional sumi-e painting, and calligraphy. The paints are handcrafted using traditional Sumi ink production methods.

Gansai are traditional Japanese water-based paints developed in collaboration with renowned Japanese artists. These paints are characterized by:

• Very high pigment concentration.
• Intense, saturated colors with greater coverage than traditional European watercolors.
• They have an exceptionally smooth and creamy, buttery consistency, thanks to which they dissolve perfectly and transfer easily to the brush.
• Versatility: Depending on the amount of water used, you can achieve the effect of transparent watercolor or the more opaque gouache.
• Each color is contained in a large, removable cube (pan), which makes work easier.

Painting Accessories:

• Two calligraphy or watercolor brushes with bamboo handles.
• Flower-shaped ceramic palette with recesses for mixing colors.
• A dark, rectangular stand and a small paper weight.
• Additional Materials: Detailed painting manual and work examples

Packaging: the whole thing is packed in a box made of paulownia wood, making the set perfect as a gift.
