About this material
Kuretake Gansai Tambi are square cakes of solid paint that you dissolve with water. Gansai is a type of paint that was first used in Japanese-style painting, and it is ready to use with just water. The colors are bright and dissolve quickly, and the range includes traditional Japanese colors that suit Japanese landscapes.
Sets come in 12, 18, 24, 36 and 48 colors. There are also special sets, such as Four Seasons Nuance Colors (12 colors) and Art Nouveau Colors (24 colors). Single colors are sold too, so you can add only the colors you want.
With more water, the paint turns clear like watercolor. With less water, it becomes a thick color that hides what is underneath. Open the lid and you can start painting right away. To put it away, just close the lid.
