This beautiful limited edition boxed set has been freshly redesigned for 2026 and features a fantastic collection of 100 Gansai Tambi handcrafted watercolor pan paints.
Individual pans are arranged inside 4 stacking wooden trays with a top cover that is embellished with ribbon, gold foil stamps, and designs of flowers commonly seen in Japanese paintings.
This set includes many classic colors along with specialty ones from the sumi, metallic, granulating, pearlescent, and starry gold palettes for creating brilliant, mesmerizing effects- many of which can also be used on dark papers! (See photos for more specifics on the colors found in this set.) Also included are color chart pages on cold press watercolor paper for making your own swatches.
These watercolor pans measure 4.79 x 2.83 cm (containing 0.30oz / 9g of paint), which are slightly larger than other full pan sizes, allowing for easier use with larger brushes. Pans are made of plastic and feature the color name/number on the bottom.
The rich and intense colors of Gansai Tambi are handcrafted with professional-quality pigments. These fine-caliber watercolors are highly blendable, with a creamy-smooth consistency found only in traditional Japan. Their bold colors are lightfast to keep your art vivid over time.
They can be as opaque as gouache when used with little water. To achieve a more transparent effect, dilute the paints with water and blend until the desired consistency and opacity is reached.
Gansai Tambi watercolors are made by Kuretake in Japan.
