Mini Antique Tokyo Set #1

This is a six-piece mini watercolor palette that includes 6 half pans from the larger 12-piece Antique Tokyo set.

Hand-crafted in small batches, this 6-pan palette is inspired by quiet landscapes, old Edo streets, and the gentle poetry of faded Japanese hand-tinted photographs.

With both rich hues and soft pastels, it’s perfect for abstract explorations, soothing landscapes, and atmospheric seascapes. It can shift from bright and playful to earthy and moody—depending on what moves you.

Each pan is handmade, a little quirky, and crafted with pigment, honey, glycerin, clove oil, and a touch of sodium benzoate (an antibacterial).

Please don’t eat them—they’re beautiful but not edible!

Your palette also includes a large, traditional bamboo Chinese Calligraphy brush with mixed hairs to encourage loose, expressive strokes, and a San Palo stick for grounding and intention in your creative practice.

*Please note the brush that comes with this mini set is the natural yellow traditional bamboo brush pictured as group in this listing. I did a few shots of this set with the dark bamboo brush- but those actually go with the larger sets.

Colors included:

Washed Redstone

Warm Sea

Pale Bamboo

Edo Blue

Clover field

Silk Road

Mix them with your favorite watercolors, inks and gouache and see how they mingle—this palette loves to play!
