Akashiya Sai Watercolor Brush Pens - Winter Colors (5 Colors)

Sale price$13.00 USD

Capture the stillness and beauty of winter with this Akashiya Sai watercolor brush pen set, featuring five seasonal colors: crimson red (beni), deep peony pink (botan), pine green (matsuba), soft silver-grey (ginnezumi), and classic black (sumi). Inspired by the quiet poetry of Japanese winters, these shades reflect snow-covered landscapes, evergreen foliage, and the elegant contrast of light and shadow.

Each brush pen features an ultra-flexible tip modeled after traditional Japanese fude brushes, delivering smooth ink flow and excellent control. The water-based dye ink is easily blendable, making it perfect for creating layered hues, soft washes, and watercolor-style gradations.

Handcrafted in Japan by Akashiya—a brushmaking brand with nearly 400 years of heritage—this Japanese brush pen set is ideal for winter-themed illustrations, journaling, greeting cards, and meditative creative practice.

Explore our Japanese brush pens, a harmonious blend of tradition and ease.

The Story of Akashiya

Akashiya was founded in 1716 in Nara, the city where Japanese brushmaking has been practiced for over a thousand years and which remains the country's main center for handmade fude (writing brushes). The workshop spent its first two centuries making traditional calligraphy and painting brushes (bristle bundled, glued, and shaped by a single artisan from start to finish), and that one-brush-one-maker discipline is still the standard for every piece in the line today.

Over the past century Akashiya has extended that craft into adjacent territory: the Sai brush pen series, fountain-pen-style brush pens with their own ink reservoirs, watercolor brush pens in traditional Japanese color sets, sumi-e and nihonga brushes for fine detail and broad strokes, and even makeup brushes. The common thread across all of them is the way the tip holds and releases ink, which is the part of brushmaking that takes the longest to learn and is hardest to mechanize.

What you are holding is a small piece of a 300-year continuous practice, made in the place where Japan's brush tradition began.
