Kuretake Gansai Tambi Aesthetic Faceted Colors Set of 36

Timeless Japanese Watercolors with Seasonal Beauty

The Aesthetic Faceted Colors set from Kuretake’s renowned Gansai Tambi line captures the spirit of Japanese aesthetics, seasonal transitions, nature’s brilliance, and the harmony of everyday beauty. With 36 richly pigmented pans, this set was developed with input from traditional picture-paper artists, ensuring fast-dissolving, vibrant, and smooth application.

Unlike Western watercolors, Gansai paints offer a unique opacity and vividness, allowing artists to layer soft washes or bold strokes with equal ease. Their faceted texture in the pans may naturally crack over time, a characteristic of their artisanal formulation, but this does not affect quality or performance.

Ideal for professionals and beginners alike, this set includes a wide range of traditional hues, metallic gold, and silver for highlights, making it perfect for fine art, calligraphy, illustration, and greeting card design.
