Kourin Kobaien Calligraphy Brush - Siberian Weasel Hair 好凛筆

Kourin is a Kobaien brush made for both calligraphy and painting, its tip cut from Siberian weasel hair — a material long prized for holding a fine point while still carrying enough body for a heavier stroke.

It moves smoothly across paper in either direction, equally at ease drawing a hairline or laying down a thick, saturated wash, which makes it a natural companion to inks like Koukaboku or the deeper Shitsuboku grades reviewed elsewhere in this collection.

As with all Kobaien brushes, each one is finished by hand, so small variations in length and weight are part of the making, not a flaw in it.
