We offer many kinds of brushes, most of which have been
developed primarily for various styles of brush calligraphy and for Sumi-e,
an ancient style of Oriental painting renowned for its simplicity, grace
and beauty.
Unlike watercolor, oil and most other paint-brushes,
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 hairs gathered to form a tapered point. The outer
wrapping consists of softer hairs which are selected for their greater
water-holding capacity and for facillitating smooth strokes. The hairs of
the inner core and of the outer wrapping are the same length and come to a
point when dipped into water. The hair structure ensures smooth
maneuverability and dynamic strokes whether light or heavy pressure is
applied.
