A very special brush

This is the second handmade brush I have had the pleasure of ordering from Ms Chiyomi Tanaka through Keitaro from Ichi inc., Japan.

Ms Chiyomi is one of the last few master brush makers in Nara, the spiritual home of the Japanese art of Shodo. I recommend watching the YouTube video interview of Ms Chiyomi and her brush-making process.

I find that with using a brush like this, the artwork carries the spirit of both me and the artist who made the brush, making it doubly special. I am very much looking forward to buying from Ichi inc. again!

Funagata inkstick ( bluish black, 舟形・正倉院 )

Excellent produit !

Ces encres sont extraordinaires ! Leurs qualités sont multiples: densité de teinte, variété des teintes, grande fluidité sitôt broyée et profondeur des tons très impressionnants! Après avoir longuement cherché des encres qui me conviennent, je recommande à 100%. Et la transaction avec la firme qui les fabrique n’a pas de défaut j’ai toujours été très satisfait de leur efficacité et de leur sérieux: très fiable en plus d’être très efficace.
