Collection: 筆 Brushes for Calligraphy

Currently, the prevalent type of fude brush used in Japan is the "Suihitsu (written as 水筆)",  also called as Mushinhitsuwritten as 無芯筆), brush without a core.  It has originated from the late Edo period to the Meiji period. However, it's important to note that not all brushes with bristles are of the "Suihitsu" type. There exists a distinct structure known as "Yūshihitsu" (written as 有芯筆), represented by brushes such as "Kamimaki Fude" (紙巻筆) or "Maki Fude" (巻筆).
