Excellent ink retention

I use this primarily for small regular script practice, and it holds ink very well without dripping. The tip comes to a fine point easily, allowing for precise details in horizontal and vertical strokes. Highly recommended for students.

Perfect for learning Regular Script

As a beginner, I was worried about controlling the brush, but this mixed hair brush offers just the right amount of flexibility and snap. The red bean hair gives it resilience while the purple hair holds ink beautifully. My strokes have improved significantly since switching to this brush.

Durable and responsive

After three months of daily practice, the brush tip has not splayed or lost its shape. The mixed hair composition provides a nice balance between softness and stiffness, making it forgiving for beginners but responsive enough for more advanced techniques.

Great quality for the price

The craftsmanship is excellent. The handle feels comfortable in hand during long practice sessions. I deducted one star only because the protective cap was slightly loose upon arrival, but the brush itself performs wonderfully for copying classic texts.

Good for copying classics

I bought this specifically to copy the Tang Dynasty masters. The size is accurate for small script work. It takes a little breaking in, but once softened, it writes very smoothly. A solid choice for serious practice.

Beautifully balanced

The weight distribution of this brush is fantastic. It feels like an extension of my hand. The red bean and purple hair mix creates a unique texture that helps in mastering the pause-and-lift technique essential for regular script.

5 FAQ

Q: Can this brush be used with liquid ink directly from a bottle?

A: Yes, this brush works well with both ground stick ink and high-quality liquid sumi ink. If using liquid ink, ensure it is not too watery to maintain proper stroke definition.

Q: How should I clean and store this brush after use?

A: Rinse gently with lukewarm water until the water runs clear. Reshape the tip with your fingers and let it air dry horizontally or hang it with the tip facing down. Always use the protective cap once completely dry to maintain the tip's shape.

Q: What is the difference between Red Bean hair and Purple hair in this mix?

A: Red bean hair (from weasel tails) offers elasticity and snap, helping the brush return to its shape. Purple hair (a type of goat hair) provides excellent ink absorption and smoothness. The mix combines the best of both for controlled yet fluid writing.

Q: Is this brush suitable for absolute beginners who have never held a calligraphy brush before?

A: Yes, absolutely. The mixed hair design provides a good balance of flexibility and support, making it easier for beginners to control their strokes compared to pure goat or wolf hair brushes.

Q: Does this come with a brush rest or ink stone?

A: No, this package includes only the calligraphy brush and a protective plastic cap. Brush rests and ink stones are sold separately to allow you to choose styles that match your preference.
