Holbein Shin-Gansai watercolours are a unique collection of traditional Japanese paints in solid pan form, blending centuries-old craftsmanship with the modern quality of carefully selected pigments.

Crafted following classic formulas and a meticulous drying process, these watercolours are known for their exceptional colour intensity and silky-smooth application. Just a small amount of water is enough to activate the paint instantly, producing rich, vibrant washes that can be built up from delicate, transparent glazes to deep, expressive layers. Shin-Gansai colours are perfectly suited for traditional Japanese painting, sumi-e techniques, and classic watercolour methods — allowing artists to achieve soft, fluid transitions as well as precise, detailed work.

Unlike Holbein Artist’s Watercolors, which embody a more European character focused on maximum transparency, colour purity, and precise pigment mixing, Shin-Gansai paints offer a slightly more opaque consistency and more intense saturation. This results in richer colour effects with just a single layer and a quicker response to water and brush. As a result, they are particularly well-suited to expressive colour techniques, traditional illustration, calligraphy, and decorative painting.

Shin-Gansai is the ideal choice for artists seeking watercolours that combine depth, ease of use, and striking colour expression — all in the spirit of Japanese tradition and aesthetics.
