That intention still carries through till this day. What drew us in most are the names of the colors. Each one reads almost like a memory or a place. Not just “orange,” but \"A Sunny Day in Ohara\". A rural town outside Kyoto, warm, expansive, a completely different feeling from the city. The colors don’t just describe what you’re seeing, they suggest where you are are create a whole imaginary world while you create.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey’re soft pastels, smooth and easy to work with, made through a careful blending of pigment and binder that gives them that rich, velvety feel. It feels closer to how perfume is described than how art materials usually are. The 18-piece set offers a focused palette with a nice beginner's range of colors, while the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.nalatanalata.com\/products\/gondola-pastels-36-piece-set\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e36-piece set \u003c\/a\u003egives a bit more range. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e18 piece Gondola Pastel Set \u003c\/span\u003ewas curated by Angélique Chmielewski\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesigner\/Maker \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaker: \u003c\/b\u003eOhkan Kagaku Kogyosyo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions: \u003c\/b\u003eBox - 3.5\" (w) x 3.5\" (l) x 1.2\" (h) or 89mm (w) x 89mm (l) x 31mm (h)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight: \u003c\/b\u003eApproximately 6.0 oz or 170 g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterials: \u003c\/b\u003ePigments\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Kyoto, Japan\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited edition set of 18 soft pastels inspired by the traditional colors of Japan, perfect for painting landscapes and more\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade in small batches using carefully selected, high-quality pigments\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes 18 colors and a swatch card\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePastel length is 0.8\" (20 mm); compact size designed for portability and outdoor sketching\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft texture allows for smooth application and rich color payoff\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh pigment concentration delivers vibrant, saturated hues unique to Japanese landscapes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for artists of all levels, from beginners to professionals\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHoused in a lightweight paulownia wood box, offering durability while helping regulate humidity and preserve pastel quality\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaulownia box combines functional longevity\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrafted by Gondola, Japan’s oldest soft pastel manufacturer, established in 1919, with over a century of traditional pastel-making expertise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ohkan Kagaku Kogyosyo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50344562721014,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0194\/5843\/files\/Gondola_Pastels_18_Pc_Set_Featured.jpg?v=1775350216","url":"https:\/\/shop.nalatanalata.com\/products\/gondola-pastels-18-piece-set","provider":"Nalata Nalata","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
