Akashiya Sai Watercolor Kit with Folding Water Cup and Denim Case
The Akashiya Sai Sketch Set with Denim Case is a compact and complete kit designed for creating watercolor-style artwork without the need to carry separate paints. It includes 20 vibrant Akashiya Sai watercolor brush pens, a black Thin LINE brush pen, a nylon painting brush, a folding water cup for brush cleaning, a mini mixing palette, and a durable denim carrying pouch—everything you need to start painting anytime, anywhere.
For those who want more than just brush pens, the set also comes with a nylon brush and water cup, allowing for more advanced techniques like blending, layering, and soft shading. By using water to dilute the Sai brush pen ink or mixing colors on the palette, you can easily achieve smooth gradients and expressive watercolor effects.
This set is also perfect for travel. Pair it with our Goshuincho Stamp Books to use as a portable sketchbook for capturing your journey through art. Lightweight and easy to carry, this thoughtfully curated set makes watercolor painting more accessible, spontaneous, and enjoyable wherever inspiration strikes.

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.
