Kuretake offers a range of professional quality inks for artists, designers, and calligraphers. The inks are formulated for reliable flow and rich, expressive marks across drawing, writing, and lettering.
Founded in Nara, Japan, in 1902, Kuretake began by making sumi ink and has since expanded into markers, inks, and brush pens. All pens are made in Japan and are suitable for both professionals and beginners.
Kuretake’s innovations include Bokuteki, a liquid sumi ink, and Fude brush pens. While developing new tools, they have maintained their heritage as a sumi manufacturer. Bokuteki has been a long-selling favourite since its release in 1958.
