Kuretake: A Legacy of Art and Craftsmanship

Kuretake is a brand deeply rooted in the tradition of sumi, symbolizing an arts and crafts lifestyle that celebrates the use of color and form. The colors associated with Kuretake—black, yellow, and purple—signify a blend of tradition and innovation in our range of brushes, pens, and paints, all designed to nurture our customers' artistic pursuits. The shapes of circles, squares, and triangles represent the essence of creativity found in arts and crafts. 'ZIG' is a beloved brand name for Kuretake’s array of pens and markers.

The inception of Kuretake ZIG Fine Liner Pen traces back to the 1970s, during a time when Japan was grappling with widespread economic depression following the war. Consumers sought affordable yet high-quality stationery, which led to the creation of this iconic pen. The name 'ZIG' is inspired by the word 'zigzag', reflecting the fluid, back-and-forth motion of writing.

Founded in 1902 in Nara, Japan, Kuretake Co., Ltd. has risen to prominence by integrating traditional Sumi Ink (Japanese Calligraphy Ink) with innovative technology. This has established our reputation as a maker of high-quality stationery products. With confidence in our unique expertise with multi-colored pigment inks, Kuretake ventured further into the Art & Crafts sector.
