I liked them so much i picked up the Art Nouveau set as well. i love them too. i had tried one of the granulating sets and fell in love with them so i wanted to try these. i got the 48 color set and im so happy with them. A little goes a long way. I usually use western watercolor, Daniel Smith and Winsor and Newton Professional. These are not like those. I also have some gouache and it’s not really like that either. Very well pigmented , bright and vibrant. They layer beautifully as long as you don’t overwork them. The paint will lift. These will work wet on wet but that’s not really what they are for. Wet on dry or damp and they really shine. No, they aren’t all lightfast. These were made to be used for sketching and underpaintings. I love them though and have been playing with them constantly. They do beautifully with Sumi ink. Of course they would. The pans are all labeled and the box has the label on it so you can put the pan back where it was. The swatch card is a thinner paper but worked fine for these kind of paint. There is also a swatch card printed inside the lid of the box. According to their website you can get the pans individually as well for when you run out. Although I haven’t seen open stock on desertcart. I definitely recommend these for beginners and professional painters. They are different in a good way. Review: Love This Paint - I love, love, love these paints! They have beautiful pigment and a creamy texture. The colors flow beautifully and this was my second purchase of them. I started out with a smaller set then went with more colors. I've had two other fellow water color artist friends try them and they too are happy with them. Like paper, paint quality makes all the difference in your work. ## Features - 48 Vivid Colors: Gansai is a traditional Japanese watercolor inspired by the colors of nature, offering rich, vivid, and opaque tones; each pan is carefully filled with smooth, non-granulating paint that dries with a subtle, elegant sheen - Flexible Techniques: Designed for versatility, these paints dry without harsh edges, allowing for smooth flat washes and effortless layering with proper technique - Brush Dexterity: Gansai Tambi pans are larger than typical watercolor pans, making it easy to use both small and large brushes with precision and control - Palette & Color Chart Included: Each Gansai Tambi set includes a protective sheet that keeps pans securely in place and doubles as a convenient mixing palette; a color chart is also included, allowing you to swatch your paints and quickly identify each color with ease - Non-Toxic, Gift-Ready: Made with ACMI-certified water-based pigments, this set comes in a simple cardboard box with an elegant green washi overlay; its refined packaging makes it a perfect gift for any art lover ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07TS69L3R | | Age Range Description | Kid | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,847 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #103 in Art Paints | | Brand | Kuretake | | Brand Name | Kuretake | | Color | 48 colors set | | Color Code | Multicolor | | Container Type | Box | | Coverage | Opaque | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 2,926 Reviews | | Dry Time In Hours | 24 | | Finish Type | Adjustable | | Full Cure Time | 24 hours | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04901427305227 | | Included Components | Palette | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Is Waterproof | True | | Item Form | Solid | | Item Type Name | Paint Set | | Item Volume | 1.5 kg | | Item Weight | 0.5 kg | | Manufacturer | Kuretake | | Model Name | Gansai Tambi | | Model Number | KUMC20-48V | | Paint Type | Watercolor | | Part Number | MC20/48V | | Size | 48 Count (Pack of 1) | | Special Feature | Water-based pigment | | Special Features | Water-based pigment | | Specific Uses For Product | Pans | | Surface Recommendation | Paper | | Unit Count | 48 Count | | Water Resistance Level | Waterproof | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Kuretake - **Color:** 48 colors set - **Finish Type:** Adjustable - **Item Volume:** 1.5 kg - **Paint Type:** Watercolor - **Size:** 48 Count (Pack of 1) - **Special Feature:** Water-based pigment - **Specific Uses For Product:** Pans - **Surface Recommendation:** Paper - **Unit Count:** 48 Count ## Images ![Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolor Paint Set, 48 Colors, Made in Japan - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61IOWCEaHUL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ wonderful paints, still loving them *by A***R on July 8, 2026* I have zero regrets getting these paints.

They have beautiful pigment and a creamy texture. The colors flow beautifully and this was my second purchase of them. I started out with a smaller set then went with more colors. I've had two other fellow water color artist friends try them and they too are happy with them.

There is something about these, even though they're more opaque than traditional watercolors, they're definitely also NOT gouache, but despite their semi-opaqueness, they have this lovely way of blending together wet-in-wet and granulating that is just very unique to this product. I wasn't sure if it'd be too cheap or beginner for me, but honestly absolutely not. I don't use all of the colors, but the ones I wanted to use were all in there and it was cheaper than buying individual pans etc. If you wanted to splurge on a big set of Gansai, I think this one (the 48) is hands down the best, you get a good array of different colors including some gold and silvers. My only qualm is I wish the umber color was darker, it's kind of a milk-chocolate lighter color. Kuretake needs to give us a darker van dyke type brown. I also find that they wet easily, and the big pans are fun to play with. Obviously the big box isn't the most travel friendly, but you can remove the pans and put them into another container if you wanted. I put six of mine in a vintage pencil case and they fit beautifully (there is also an empty-6 pan tray that you can buy out there by the same brand to make your own limited palette). The exterior of the box is lovely when you put the palette away, it just feels very special. I really held back on these for quite some time, but I do like them. I would not recommend them to someone who is a beginner in watercolors who wants to learn how TRADITIONAL western watercolors work - these are seriously not the same, and again, they're not gouache, they really are a secret third thing, but the magic of how they are a little different really shines when you use them. ## Frequently Bought Together - Kuretake GANSAI TAMBI Watercolor Paint Set 48 Colors, Professional-quality art supplies for artists adult painting sketching, Non-Toxic, Made in Japan - ARTEGRIA Watercolor Brush Set, 10 Soft Synthetic Squirrel Paint Brushes, Including Pointed Rounds, Flats, Dagger, Oval Wash --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/152249064-kuretake-gansai-tambi-watercolor-paint-set-48-colors-made-in](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/152249064-kuretake-gansai-tambi-watercolor-paint-set-48-colors-made-in) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-04*
