Sakura Koi Water Colors Field Sketch Box (XNCW-24N)

Sakura Koi Water Colors are produced by the Sakura Color Products Corporation. The specific model shown, XNCW-24N, is a 24-color field sketch set widely used by artists for its portability. Sakura was founded in 1921 in Osaka, Japan, and initially specialized in crayons before expanding into various stationery and art materials. In 1991, Sakura was acquired by Bruynzeel-Sakura, and it now operates as part of the Royal Talens group, which is a subsidiary of Sakura Color Products Corporation. While the brand is Japanese, many of these kits are manufactured in China to meet global demand for student and hobbyist-grade art supplies.
