Kuretake Gansai Tambi 100-Colour Watercolour Set – Limited Edition Wooden Box

Celebrate the rich tradition of Japanese painting with this stunning limited edition Gansai Tambi set from Kuretake. Housed in an elegant wooden box adorned with classic floral motifs – plum blossom, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum – this deluxe set is both a collector’s item and a painter’s dream.

These water-based pigment paints are handcrafted in Japan to professional standards and known for their creamy, opaque consistency, smooth application, and luminous finish – even on dark paper. The rich and intense colours are lightfast, so your painting will remain vivid. 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 for dilution, offering a versatility that’s especially prized by artists working in illustration, calligraphy and ink-and-wash styles. Each colour comes in a large, removable pan for easy handling. The palette lid includes a blank colour chart (four sheets provided) for you to swatch and personalise. All colours are vegan, non-toxic and lightfast, making this an ideal gift for artists seeking both beauty and quality in their materials.

Inside, you’ll find 100 Gansai Tambi colours, with 72 of their classic shades. Also included are the 28 pans from the specialty ranges including: Starry Colours set of 6, Pearl Colours set of 6,  Sumi Colours set of 6, as well as *NEW* Granulating Colours2 set of 5 &  *NEW*  Iridescent Colours set of 6.
