Features of Yamato no Irodori
Gansai watercolors with elegant, transparent colors
Watercolor-style gansai paints that express beautiful traditional Japanese colors. Nihonseiboku’s “Yamato no Irodori” dissolves easily in water and offers transparent tones, making it possible to create refined gradations of color.
Enjoy a wide range of expression, including etegami, watercolor painting, Japanese painting, portrait painting, and illustration.
Mounting-resistant gansai watercolors for beautifully finished works
Finished works deserve to be backed, mounted, and preserved or displayed for many years.
Nihonseiboku’s “Yamato no Irodori” dissolves easily in water and allows free control of color density, while also being finished with enhanced resistance for mounting.
Safe and reliable pigments made without heavy metals
“Yamato no Irodori” gansai watercolors are made without using any heavy metals, using inorganic and organic pigments instead.
The binder is made mainly from natural starch, resulting in gansai watercolors with excellent safety and careful consideration for both people and the environment.
Because no heavy metals harmful to people or the environment are used, they are safe even for small children.
Beautiful colors achieved without using heavy metals.
High quality at a price you can appreciate
Compared with the previous Shoyu gansai product, we improved the colors, quality, and cost performance even further, achieving beautiful traditional Japanese colors at a price that feels right.
In addition to gansai sets, we also offer single-color refills and gansai in teppachi dishes, so you can replenish used colors and enjoy the product for a long time.
