Kuretake ZIG BRUSH Pen WHITE Ultra Fine for Artists and Beginners in Manga and Illustration

Our Origins: The Kuretake Story

At the heart of Kuretake lies a rich heritage steeped in the tradition of sumi, the art of Japanese ink painting. Our brand epitomizes the vibrant arts and crafts lifestyle, effortlessly intertwining color and form. The color 'Black' symbolizes our deep-rooted traditions, while 'Yellow and Purple' signify innovation in our range of brushes, pens, and paints designed to elevate your artistic journey. Our simple shapes—circle, square, and triangle—mirror the essence of creativity in arts and crafts. A beloved facet of our brand is 'ZIG,' the name synonymous with Kuretake’s esteemed pens and markers cherished by many.

The 1970s were a transformative time in Japan, a period marked by economic depression in the wake of World War II. Amidst this backdrop, there was a heightened demand for affordable, high-quality stationery, giving rise to the innovative 'Kuretake ZIG' Fine Liner pen. The name ‘ZIG’ derives from the concept of 'zigzag', reflecting the dynamic, back-and-forth motion inherent in writing.

Founded in 1902 in Nara, Japan, Kuretake Co., Ltd. has since built a reputation for excellence by merging traditional Sumi Ink (Japanese calligraphy ink) with our proprietary technology. Our extensive knowledge in multicolored pigment inks enabled us to confidently venture into the Art & Crafts industry, where our innovations continue to thrive.
