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.

INK

[GANSAI TAMBI] It is traditional, Japanese watercolor, developing colors that are based off of those seen in nature. Colors are vivid and opaque, and pans are carefully fill so that the paint is smooth, rather than granulated, and dries with a slight sheen. Individual pans are replaceable.
[Ink] Unique technology allows for the development of pigment ink that leaves flat-washes easily, while remaining easy to blend. Gansai Tambi ink can be diluted to create a more watercolor-like picture, while still remaining bright and opaque, or can be used as a gauche by limiting water dilution. Ink dries with a slight sheen
[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.
[Ideal Gift Set] Packaged in a simple cardboard box with elegant green washi overlay. Perfect for gifts.
[About us] Kuretake Co., Ltd. founded in 1902 and celebrate 120th anniversary this year, so Kuretake introduced “Art nouveau” tastes into Gansai Tambi new set, which was a trend in Europe back in our year of the establishment. The concept is based in “Art nouveau” though, balanced colors are chosen, and you can create any illustration only with this set.
