I recently visited Japan and I bought Japanese watercolours (gansai)! This video is a brand comparison between the Kissho and the Kuretake brands.
Note: Gansai uses a different binder to traditional watercolours - traditional watercolours generally use gum arabic as the binder (plant based), Gansai uses a combination of products which could include beeswax, starch, sugar syrup, glycerine, etc.
I forgot to mention that two of my Kuretake paints had cracked by the time I opened them - they were easily sealed together again with water, the Kissho however did not crack at all.
