It uses thick, resilient hairs to allow for writing bold characters. It's an easy-to-use and practical brush, perfect for tasks like Tanabata (Star Festival) and New Year's calligraphy competitions. Made with carefully selected materials from Hiroshima brush makers, this high-quality mixed-hair brush has excellent elasticity and firmness, and holds ink very well. It provides a smooth, flexible, and sharp writing experience, allowing you to create powerful and dynamic lines. Furthermore, the use of stiff hairs allows for very stable and powerful lines, making it easy to write both large and small characters using the tip of the brush. Once you use this brush, you'll undoubtedly appreciate its ease of use! In short, this brush offers a truly wonderful writing experience, so you won't regret purchasing it! This brush is new but comes pre-separated, meaning the tip is not stiffened with glue. Also, the tip is already darkened due to the type of stiff hairs used. The photo shows the separated brush tip after being wetted with water and shaped. Approximate brush dimensions: Tip diameter: 17 mm Tip length: 71 mm Shaft length: 182 mm Please note that some hairs may come loose when using a new brush for the first time, but this is normal.
