Watercolors

The Heritage of Kuretake Gansai Tambi & Akashiya Sai

Japanese watercolors, particularly Gansai Tambi, are known for their semi-transparent finish and high pigment density. Unlike western watercolors, these traditional palettes are designed for sumi-e and etegami, offering vibrant, lightfast colors that glide onto paper. Brands like Akashiya further elevate the experience with their Sai watercolor palettes, which are specifically crafted to complement water brush pens for effortless outdoor sketching.
