Akashiya Large Painting Brush with Stand for Picture Letters, AN-01

The large picture letter brush with a tsuketate brush can be used for ink painting and picture letters.

[Nara Brush Master Akashiya] To craft these brushes, we select from over 10 types of animal hair that are soft and firm and absorb ink well. The quality of the brush varies depending on the species of animal, the time of collection, and the part of the body where the hair is collected. The brush-making technique of skillfully combining a wide variety of hair types based on elasticity, strength, length, etc. is the result of many years of experience and research by our master brush masters. This combined with traditional techniques allows us to continue producing Nara brushes with exquisitely finished tips. The tenacity of horsehair and the sharpness of raccoon dog hair make these brushes ideal for ink painting and haiku painting. They can also be used for outlining and coloring picture letters.
