”Saiboku Shimbi,” a series of colored ink sticks can lead you to a variety of expressions by mixing and layering the colors, paint application, and brushwork.
These Saibku are suitable for many painting styles, including Japanese painting, ink painting, and watercolor painting.


This 14-color set includes 12 pieces of "Saiboku Shimbi" which demonstrates the vividness of traditional Japanese colors, 1 piece of "Shin-jirushi Kuretake" which produces deep and elegant ink colors for calligraphy, and 1 piece of "Gaboku Ume-jirushi Sansui" that produces refreshing and deep blue ink color.

One of the main features of the ”Saiboku Shimbi” series is the vividness of the ink colors.

Artworks painted with "Saiboku Shimbi" can also be mounted (Hyogu) later. If the artworks are painted with deep colors, applying a fixative (Kuretake Calligraphy Painting Spray) is recommended after the artworks are completely dried.
