Gansai Tambi Watercolours are handcrafted, professional-quality Japanese watercolours with a highly blendable, creamy-smooth consistency. The colours are rich and intense, and exhibit greater opacity than European or American watercolours in traditional Japanese style. 

As the paint dries, the surface can be gently polished to reveal a beautiful metallic lustre, adding an extra dimension to your artwork. The carefully balanced combination of graphite and colour pigments produces elegant shades that are both expressive and versatile. Housed in the traditional Gansai Tambi format, the generously sized pans accommodate both large and small brushes with ease, making them ideal for detailed work as well as broad washes.

Crafted in Japan with Kuretake’s renowned attention to quality, this distinctive set is perfect for artists looking to explore new textures, tonal effects, and creative possibilities.
