In the 1970’s, Japan experienced nationwide depression during the post-war recession. People everywhere sought out low priced yet high quality stationery productions, and in this era came the birth of the new 'Kuretake ZIG' Fine liner pen. ZIG comes from the word 'zigzag', a concept based on the fluid, back and forth motion which comes with writing.

The pigment is lovely, really vibrant and gorgeous. The pans of colour are also huge, no doubt due to Asian brushes usually being bigger and thicker, like the Calligraphy ones for example, than Western ones, so you get a lot for the money you're paying for these.Please refer to this link for confirmation: https://www.amazon.com/Kuretake-MC2036V-Gansai-Tambi-Color/dp/B00KERVO72?SubscriptionId=12NVBQD5T6H4YCPVYZ82&tag=typeright-ae-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B00KERVO72 **Q: Will these paints show up on black paper?** A: yes and no, it does with a thick layer of the paint **Q: Can these paints be used as gouache, rather than watercolour?** A: A watercolourist may find them to be "opaque" but someone who works with gouache will find them very transparent. Gansai is not truly like either watercolour or gouache in the Western sense, and is pigments in a glue binder (which varies by colour and by brand) used as a convenient stand in for hand grinding pigments and mixing with glue in Japanese Nihonga, like a practice paint I suppose. **Q: Please how long does it take to arrive from Japan to UK?
