Sumi Brush  E-mail this product to a friend

Sumi brushes are composed of two separate parts. The central core which determines the height and basic function of the brush is made of relatively stiff hair gathered to form a tapered point. The outer layer consists of softer hairs which are selected for their greater water-holding capacity and for the facilitating smooth strokes. The hairs of the inner core and of the outer layer are the same length and come to a point when dipped into water. The hair structure ensures smooth maneuverabilitiy and dynamic strokes whether light or heavy pressureis used. This popular fine calligraphy brush has a resilient, sharp point set in bamboo and is excellent for calligraphy or Sumi. It is made with quality horse hair which gives a crisp touch. Each comes with a loop for hanging (pictures and photos may vary from actual brush).
