Perfect for detailed Gongbi work

This brush holds ink incredibly well and maintains a sharp point even after long painting sessions. The mixed hair provides just the right balance of flexibility and control for bird-and-flower details.

Great quality, needs breaking in

The craftsmanship is outstanding. It felt a bit stiff initially but softened nicely after the first few uses. Now it's my go-to for Regular Script.

Versatile for multiple scripts

I use this for both Running Script and Seal Script. The tip recovery is impressive, snapping back to shape immediately after each stroke.

Excellent for line drawing

As a beginner in Chinese calligraphy, I found this large brush very forgiving yet precise. It glides smoothly on rice paper without splitting.

Beautiful handle design

Not only does it paint beautifully, but the lacquered bamboo handle feels comfortable and looks elegant on my desk. A slight learning curve for ink loading, but worth it.
