Perfect for small Kai script
I specifically needed a brush for small regular script, and this fits the bill perfectly. The tip is sharp enough for fine details yet resilient enough for broader strokes.

Authentic Hubei craftsmanship
You can tell this is made by masters. The binding is tight, the handle feels comfortable in hand, and the hair selection is top-tier. Worth every penny.

Great brush, slight scent initially
The brush writes smoothly and the ink flow is consistent. There was a faint natural animal hair smell upon opening, but it dissipated after the first rinse. Overall very satisfied.

Beautiful gift presentation
Bought this as a gift for my father who loves traditional art. The bamboo box engraving is exquisite, and the brush itself performs wonderfully. He was thrilled with the quality.

Exceptional quality for professional use
The mixed hair blend offers perfect balance between stiffness and softness. The tip holds its shape beautifully even after multiple washes. Highly recommended for serious calligraphers.

Good value for a complete set
The inclusion of the inkstone and paper sample makes this a great starter kit for intermediates. The brush is high quality, though I wish the ink stick was slightly larger.
Q: Does the set include an instruction guide for beginners?
A: The set includes a basic care card. While it is designed for professionals, we can email you a digital PDF guide with beginner tips if you contact us after purchase.
Q: How should I clean and maintain this brush?
A: Rinse gently with lukewarm water after each use until the water runs clear. Reshape the tip and let it air dry horizontally or hang it with the tip facing down. Avoid soaking the handle.
Q: Can the engraving on the box be customized with a specific name?
A: Yes, we offer custom laser engraving on the bamboo box. Please provide your desired text in the order notes or contact our support team before shipping.
Q: What is the approximate length of the brush handle?
A: The bamboo handle is approximately 26 centimeters (about 10.2 inches) long, providing a balanced grip for precise control during writing.
Q: Is this brush suitable for sumi-e painting or just calligraphy?
A: This mixed hair brush is versatile and excellent for both Chinese calligraphy and Sumi-e (ink wash) painting, particularly for detailed work and medium strokes.
