Kissho Japanese Painting Watercolors Set 20 Colors Kaku Gansai Saibi Sumi

Product Description

This set features a curated selection of traditional Japanese "Saibi Sumi" colors, ideal for letter painting, sketching, and Japanese painting. Each color is crafted by grinding and kneading high-quality oil ink and premium pigments using a unique method. The inclusion of glue in the ink ensures the colors remain vibrant and glossy, while still maintaining the characteristic transparency of face painting pigments. The result is a palette with deep, subdued tones—darker areas exhibit a rich sumi (ink) color, lighter areas highlight the pigment’s natural hue, and mid-tones display a beautiful gloss. This set is perfect for artists seeking authentic Japanese colors with a refined, elegant finish.
