Watercolour paints made by kneading a resin solution (water-based spreading colourant) such as gum arabic together withless pigment and more resin.

Whendissolved in water and applied, the underlying colour shows through and is easily transparent. The colours below and above are visually mixed to give the impression of clarity.

When you're inspired, draw a quick picture before you lose that feeling.

The first genuinely domestic oil paint, successfully produced in Japan, from pigment extraction to all production processes.

Bold thick paints and delicate depictions are both at your fingertips. As the paint dries, it becomes glossy and you can add more and more paint on top without worrying about the colours underneath. Durable, Gekkoso paints are guaranteed for 80 years.
One of the features of oil painting is that you can take your time with a piece of work as it dries, and enjoy the painting process itself slowly.

Now, let's bring the joy of painting to everyone, the beauty of colour, and the brilliance of light!

Gekkoso's original watercolor paints are specially processed into stick shapes, and if you dissolve the stick-paint with a water-brush-pen while they are still in the case, they will turn into vividly colored watercolor paints. If you remove the holder, it can also be used as colored pencils.

Simple and durable, thin aluminum case is free of excess decoration.

While traveling or strolling around a cafe, you can jot down any ideas that pop into your head and you will be able to attract the dreams you want to realize.

GEKKOSO GUNOÉ is a ultimate portable art tool with a new concept that supports people’s analog art life and freedom of expression.

Gekkoso's sketchbooks come in seven different papers - Usuten, Usu, Atsu, Toku Atsu, Shin Toku Atsu, Iro Book and Postcard - seven different sizes and six different coloured covers.

Among them, Usuten is a sketchbook with dots that do not interfere with the drawing, rather than ruled lines, and is a gem created at the request of Konosuke Matsushita, founder of Matsushita Electric Industrial Co.

The pale blue dots printed on 1 cm squares are not sensitive when copied, and are very popular among architects and designers. When used from the back, the drawing on the page below is slightly transparent, so it can be traced and used. Very useful as a notebook, sketchbook and of course as a scrapbook, it won the Good Design Award in 2008.

Put your feelings straight in a blank sketchbook.
