This brush is handmade by Chiyomi Tanaka, a brush craftsman living in Nara, Japan. She handcrafts her brushes from natural materials.
This brush is made from the hair of a special deer found in Southeast Asia. This brush is made from a precious raw material that is difficult to obtain. There are fake brushes on the market, but this is the real thing. The quality of the hair is that of deer hair and it is very bristly. It can be used not only for writing but also for painting.
This brush is the only one in stock.
