Kollektion: Zig Kuretake

ZIG Kuretake has been making ink and brush tools in Nara, Japan since 1902 — starting with traditional sumi ink sticks before developing into one of the most respected brush pen brands in the world. The name comes from Kuretake, a classic Japanese poetic term for bamboo symbolizing strength and flexibility.

The brand is best known for introducing individual synthetic bristle tips to portable pen markers — a genuine improvement over felt tips that actually mimics how a real paintbrush responds to pressure. At Unfade we stock the Clean Color Real Brush Pen range across individual colors and sets, the Bimoji Fude brush pen series, Gansai Tambi Japanese watercolors in standard and specialty metallic palettes, Cartoonist and Mangaka fineliners and brush pens for illustration and manga linework, and calligraphy pens.
