Good brushes, paper could be thicker

The brushes are the highlight of this set; they are very springy and hold their shape well after washing. The practice paper is a bit thin, so I recommend placing an extra sheet underneath if you use a lot of ink. Overall, a solid purchase.

Perfect starter kit for my daughter

I bought this for my daughter who is just starting to learn calligraphy. The quality of the brushes is surprisingly good for the price. The mixed hair holds ink well and creates smooth strokes. The felt mat is a nice touch to protect our table.

Complete and ready to use

No need to buy anything else. The inkstone is heavy and stable, the brushes feel balanced in the hand, and the storage box keeps everything organized. It's a very thoughtful kit for anyone interested in the Four Treasures of the Study.

Excellent quality for regular script

As an adult beginner, I was worried about buying cheap tools. This set exceeded my expectations. The brush tips come to a fine point, making it easy to practice the intricate strokes of Regular Script. The paper absorbs ink beautifully without bleeding too much.

Great value, minor ink learning curve

Everything you need is in the box. The brushes are soft yet responsive. The only reason for 4 stars is that grinding the solid ink stick takes some practice to get the right consistency, but that is traditional. Highly recommend for beginners.

Inspiring to start a new hobby

This kit made starting calligraphy so easy. The instructions included were helpful, and the variety of brush sizes allows for experimenting with different stroke widths. The bamboo handles feel authentic and comfortable during long practice sessions.

5 FAQ

Q: Are these brushes suitable for watercolor painting as well?

A: While designed primarily for calligraphy and sumi-e (ink wash painting), the mixed-hair brushes can certainly be used for basic watercolor techniques due to their good water retention.

Q: What size are the brushes included in the set?

A: The set includes a variety of sizes: small, medium, and large brushes to accommodate different character sizes and stroke styles, ranging from fine details to broad sweeps.

Q: Do I need to buy water separately to use the ink stick?

A: Yes, you will need to provide your own water. You place a few drops of water on the inkstone and grind the ink stick in a circular motion to create liquid ink.

Q: Is the felt mat washable?

A: The felt mat is designed to absorb excess ink and protect surfaces. We recommend spot cleaning only. Washing it in a machine may cause it to lose its shape or texture.

Q: How do I clean the brushes after use?

A: Rinse the brushes gently under cool running water until the water runs clear. Reshape the bristles with your fingers and let them air dry horizontally or hang them with the bristles facing down. Never leave them standing upright in water.
