Kuretake: A Legacy of Artistry and Innovation

The Kuretake brand embodies the vibrant lifestyle of arts and crafts, utilizing an array of colors and shapes to express creativity. The color black symbolizes tradition, while yellow and purple signify the innovation behind our brushes, pens, and paints—all designed to elevate your artistic endeavors. The geometric shapes of circles, squares, and triangles further illustrate our commitment to the creation of arts and crafts. Notably, 'ZIG' is the name cherished by many for Kuretake's pen and marker range.

Kuretake Co., Ltd. was founded in 1902 in Nara, Japan. The turning point for the company came during the tumultuous 1970s when Japan faced a widespread economic depression following the post-war recession. During this period, consumers sought affordable yet high-quality stationery products, leading to the inception of the 'Kuretake ZIG' Fine Liner pen. The name 'ZIG' is inspired by the concept of zigzagging—a reflection of the fluid motion involved in writing.

Throughout its history, Kuretake has combined traditional Sumi Ink—often used in Japanese calligraphy—with innovative technological advancements. This dedication to quality has earned the brand a respected position as a leading manufacturer of superior stationery products. Confident in our ability to harness unique knowledge in multi-colored pigment inks, we ventured into the Art & Crafts sector.

The ZIG Clean Color Real Brush The ZIG Clean Color Real Brush is a versatile watercolor pen suitable for various applications—ranging from illustration and design to lettering and Manga. Its water-based dye ink allows for blending with water, or it can be mixed with other colors, enabling endless creative possibilities. Unlike many other pens, these are not individually shrink-wrapped, enhancing their usability.

Diverse Application Techniques To achieve different line thicknesses, hold the pen upright for fine lines or at an angle to color larger areas. When paired with a water brush, it allows for seamless blending techniques. Simply wetting the tip of the pen with water can achieve subtle gradations of color.

Creating Gradations with Real Brushes By applying multiple colors, artists can effortlessly create stunning gradations. Start with a darker shade, and while it's still wet, layer on a lighter hue to achieve a seamless transition. These pens are perfect for watercolor painting, fine art, modern calligraphy, journaling, card making, and scrapbooking.

Quality Assurance Our products are Xylene-free, conforming to ASTM D 4236 standards, and are ACMI-certified safe for use. The flexible nylon brush tip allows for an array of line widths, making it an excellent choice for all types of artistic projects.

Since the introduction of brush pens in 1973, Kuretake has consistently innovated, resulting in the high-quality watercolor brush pen that the ZIG Clean Color Real Brush represents today.
