The shapes of circle, square, and triangle reflect the creative essence of arts and crafts. 'ZIG' is the renowned brand name for Kuretake's beloved pen and marker products.

In the 1970s, during Japan's post-war economic recession, the demand for affordable yet high-quality stationery items grew, leading to the birth of the innovative 'Kuretake ZIG' Fine liner pen. The name 'ZIG' is derived from the concept of the fluid, back-and-forth motion inherent in the writing process. Kuretake Co., Ltd., established in 1902 in Nara, Japan, has built its reputation as a manufacturer of premium stationery products by seamlessly integrating its expertise in Sumi Ink (Japanese Calligraphy Ink) with cutting-edge technological advancements.

Driven by the confidence in its unique knowledge of multi-colored pigment inks, Kuretake has expanded its reach into the Art & Crafts industry, offering a diverse range of products to cater to the artistic needs of professionals and enthusiasts alike.

The [6 Colors] Golden pearl-tinted Gansai is a standout product, designed for professional artists and crafters. Ideal for calligraphy, illustrations, brush lettering, and more, this Gansai Tambi series boasts excellent opaqueness, allowing the deep, captivating colors to boldly embellish the paper.
