Saibiboku ( The Ink of Color and Beauty ) is a watercolor paint set made from a combination of Kobaien's high quality Koukaboku ink and high quality pigments from Kissho, a specialist shop in Japanese paints.
These paints are made of ink kneaded with glue. This makes it possible to express beautiful colors with the transparency and luster of Gansai ( a special pigment for Japanese traditional watercolor paintings ) colors. The colors have more depth and serenity than those of ordinary Gansai for ink painting.
Note:
These paints are made with less glue than usual. When making a scroll, or using it as a primer for natural mineral pigment painting, dissolve the paint in a separate dish and add a new glue solution.

These gansai offer an amazing and very unique colour scheme. The paint is extremely soft and more like gouache in some of the shades. I have read you should avoid mixing this kind of paint but I did and I am very pleased with the results. It is a question of using the right amount of water (you have to experiment with that) and the right kind of paper. I find that a rough cold pressed paper (100% cotton) is the best. The colours, besides being brilliant and unique, can also granulate in some shades, which provides a wonderful texture and effect. I am very happy with them and wish they would create even more tones. The price is great and the service excellent! Thank you so, so much!!

Very beautiful paints, very pigmented. The colors are more of a jewel tone, more on the darker side, but very beautiful. Would definitely buy again.

Beautiful muted but pigmented inks. Very easy to work with and dry evenly.
