Kuretake ZIG Clean Color Real Brush Marker, 24 Colors for Artists and Beginners, Made in Japan

About Kuretake: A Legacy of Art and Craftsmanship

Kuretake, a brand steeped in artistic tradition, finds its origins in the rich heritage of sumi ink. Our identity is deeply intertwined with the arts and crafts lifestyle, characterized by an exquisite palette of colors and diverse shapes. In our branding, 'Black' symbolizes Tradition, while 'Yellow' and 'Purple' embody the Innovation inherent in our brushes, pens, and paints, all specifically designed to enhance our customers’ artistic journeys. The geometric forms—circle, square, and triangle—reflect the essence of artistic creation, making every piece we produce a catalyst for creativity.

One of the most beloved aspects of the Kuretake line is the ZIG brand, which encompasses a remarkable selection of pens and markers. This brand was born amid the economic challenges faced by Japan in the 1970s, during the post-war recession. As people gravitated toward affordable yet high-quality stationery, the introduction of the 'Kuretake ZIG' Fine Liner Pen became a significant milestone. The name 'ZIG' is derived from 'zigzag,' symbolizing the natural, flowing motion associated with writing.

Kuretake Co., Ltd., the founding entity of this renowned brand, was established in 1902 in Nara, Japan. Since that time, we have seamlessly blended traditional Sumi Ink with our technological advancements to gain recognition as a premier manufacturer of high-quality stationery products. Confident in our unique expertise in multi-colored pigment inks, we ventured into the Art & Crafts sector, expanding our creative horizons.
