As far as I can find out Japanese Gansai paints are made from mineral based pigments and are bound witha glue made from concentrated collagen and Gelatin made from animal and fish skin, this glue is mixed with either Starch,gum arabic,beeswax,sugar syruo or glycerin. When the pigments and binders are mixed together they are then oured into the large ans and allowed to dry. The pans are so large as they are made to accomodate larger japanese calligraphy brushes,and the aints are formulated to work on japanse papers. But in recent times vegan versions of the Gansai aints are being made that have have a plant based glue and lant based binders like sap from acacia trees and some pigments are also now plant based.I love the Gansai paints and have all three of the Retro sets and all four of the seasonal sets from Cjoosing Keeping. I love this store as it's a small independent shop that suports other small independent buasiness from around the world through the unique products they sell.They also sell a set of tinted black Gansai paints that I love too.Hope this information is usefull to you.

I have watched videos about kissho/kuretake and kissho is more vibrant and creamy. I have both types and love the kissho more that I received from choosing keeping 🤍 choosing keeping really does curate their collection from smaller companies and I love that. It feels more special when buying from them.

15:57 Well, two glasses of water (one for first wash and one with clear water to perfectly clean your brush and wet your paint) would totally help. 😉

The flat top dense brushes are traditionally used for painting fabrics with dye, they scrub the dye or paint into the fibers. I am glad to know were else I can get them.

There seems to be two companies that make Gansai paints Kissho and Kuretake. I have only the latter but have read that the Kissho ones are creamier and handle differently. I think Choosing Keeping commission specially boxed and curated sets, and may use both companies. They are good quality paints whichever you have, and made nicely, but will handle quite differently from European style watercolours.

They are Kuretake Gansai Tambe paints. Some colors are on jet pens or Baun Kuchen.

They have numbers on the bottom so you can see if they are the same colour.

if you want more colour payoff you can put some water on the watercolor paints before using them

I didn't originally know either, but thanks to a bunch of commenters, I now believe they are Kissho Gansai paints.
