Best medium size I've owned

I purchased the Medium Kai size, and it is versatile enough for both Clerical and Standard scripts. The ink flow is consistent, and the bristles spring back perfectly after each stroke.

Great gift for artists

Bought this set for my father who loves calligraphy. He was impressed by the quality of the lake hair and the elegant design of the handles. The small size is perfect for detailed work.

Exceptional control for Running Script

These brushes are absolutely magnificent. The soft lake hair holds ink beautifully without dripping, allowing for smooth transitions in Running Script. The balance of the bamboo handle makes long practice sessions comfortable.

Authentic craftsmanship

You can truly feel the difference in hand-specialized brushes compared to machine-made ones. The flexibility allows for expressive variation in line width, essential for artistic calligraphy.

Beautiful but requires care

The brush performs wonderfully for Seal Script, creating bold and consistent lines. It is very soft, so beginners might need some practice to control the pressure. Make sure to clean it thoroughly after each use.

5 FAQ

Q: Can these brushes be used with watercolor paints?

A: While primarily designed for calligraphy ink, the soft lake hair can certainly be used for watercolor painting techniques that require fine lines and soft washes.

Q: What is the difference between Large, Medium, and Small Kai sizes?

A: The sizes refer to the volume of the bristle tuft and the width of the strokes they produce. Small is ideal for fine details and small characters, Medium for general practice, and Large for bold, expressive strokes.

Q: Do these brushes come pre-seasoned with ink?

A: No, our brushes are shipped clean and dry. We recommend gently rinsing them with water before the first use to loosen any natural gums and then dipping them in ink.

Q: Is the handle made of real bamboo?

A: Yes, all our Master Craftsman brushes feature handles made from genuine, polished bamboo, treated with a traditional lacquer finish for durability and a comfortable grip.

Q: How should I store the brush when not in use?

A: After washing and reshaping the tip, please hang the brush vertically with the tip facing down or lay it flat on a rest. Avoid storing it upright in a cup with the tip up, as this can damage the bristles over time.
