Antique Tokyo Palette

Hand-crafted in small batches, this 12-color half 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 (while supplies last) a large 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.

I originally designed this palette with 10 colors, but while creating it I felt inspired to add two more playful shades (Silk Road and Seafoam Shadow)—so they come packaged separately, like little surprises waiting to be opened!

Colors included:

• Washed Redstone

• Royal Turquoise

• Faded Kimono

• Edo Blue

• Clover Field

• Jade Pool (slight metallic)

• Harvest Gold

• Pale Bamboo

• Warm Sea

• Pagoda Shadow

• Silk Road

• Seafoam Shadow
  

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