Kobayashi Gangu Japanese Painting Colors Set 20 Colors Traditional Pigments

Product Description

This set features a curated selection of 20 traditional Japanese "Saibi Sumi" colors, crafted for artists who appreciate deep, nuanced tones. Each color is made by blending high-quality oil-based safflower ink with premium pigments, resulting in rich, glossy hues that maintain the transparency and vibrancy essential for Japanese painting, letter painting, and sketching. The unique formulation, kneaded with glue, ensures that dark areas exhibit a strong sumi (ink) presence, while lighter areas reveal the delicate face color. The mid-tones are enhanced with a subtle gloss, adding depth and sophistication to your artwork. Manufactured in Japan, this set is ideal for both traditional and contemporary art applications.
