The quality of calligraphy and painting brushes is influenced by numerous factors. When evaluating quality, it is recommended to consider aspects such as hair quality, brush shape, manufacturing techniques, and the region of origin.
However, the best brush is ultimately one that aligns with your personal preferences and complements the style of calligraphy or painting you practice. The search for the ideal brush is also a source of enjoyment in the realms of calligraphy and sumi-e painting. Japanese culture, valuing the significance of the process, encourages individuals to delight in discovering the brush that suits them best.
”rimpamura” focuses on introducing brushes crafted through a meticulous process, often exceeding 120 steps, where a single shokunin, rather than a division of labor, dedicates themselves to the entire process, showcasing the expertise and creativity of specific regions and craftsmen.
