With this set, you can enjoy the fun of Japanese painting, sumi-e, calligraphy, and sutra copying. The ink absorption is just right, and the brushes use slightly stiff weasel hair, soft wool, and rabbit hair. The brush tips have the right hardness, and the overall flexibility is good, allowing for smooth use of arm strength. With 12 different sizes, they can be used for various calligraphy styles and paintings. The hardness and elasticity of the brush hairs are moderate, and they are not easily damaged even with long-term use. The hair wears down less overall than other types of brushes, so you can use them for a long time.
