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!!
