Ideal for: Shakyō (sutra copying), kana (Japanese syllabary), kanji (Chinese characters), and also suitable for painting. Material: Weasel hair; body made of high-grade red sandalwood and ebony. Includes: Lid case Size: Approximately 2.0cm x 0.5cm x 18.6cm Quantity: 2 brushes, one red sandalwood and one ebony. Features: These are handcrafted calligraphy brushes. They absorb ink perfectly, allowing you to write for a long time with a single dip. Because they use slightly stiff weasel tail hair, they have the right balance of firmness and elasticity, and are not easily damaged even with long-term use. The bristles wear down less overall compared to other types of brushes, so you can use them for a long time. ★ Comes with a lid case. After using the brush, allow it to dry completely before attaching the lid case. When not using the case, attach it to the end of the brush. ★ Due to the natural wood, each brush will have a unique pattern. Thank you for your understanding.
