The first-class goat hair

The ideal hair quality

This brush uses goat hair, which picks up ink well and has good consistency. The slender flexibility gives the brush a long life, and makes it the ideal hair quality for calligraphy.

This is a wonderful product that combines the best attributes of weasel and goat hair.

They are manufactured in Kumano-cho, Aki-gun, in Hiroshima Prefecture, and each one is made by hand with great skill. Since during the Edo period, Kumano-cho was located in a basin surrounded by mountains and hard to access, and women were allowed to work in the town's facilities, the manufacture of brushes emerged as a side industry to agriculture. They are committed to raising many successors with outstanding skills, and in 1975 received Hiroshima's first Traditional Craftwork designation from the Minister of International Trade and Industry. Now, they are responsible for over 80% of Japan's writing, painting, and cosmetic brush production. In recent years, Kumano brushes have begun gaining attention abroad, and have received high acclaim.

The brush will grow along with the user.

The more you use the brush, the better the ink will adhere to it, and the easier it will be to use. Please take good care of it and use it for a long time.
