KASHIN brushes by Nara brush traditional craftsman Mr. Kazuo Suzuki. 「花」 means flower, and 「心」 translates to heart or mind.
His brushes are renowned for the pleasant feeling they impart when they touch the paper and the richness of expression they produce. His brushes are also known as "versatile brushes" that can be used for various purposes.
They make bold strokes as well as delicate expressions. KASHIN brushes have excellent ink absorption and a sharp tip.
They are highly recommended for those seeking rich expression.

Among the questions frequently received from our customers, one topic stands out: tool maintenance. In conversations with brush shokunin, we learned that straightening the bristles after use can significantly alter the touch of the brush in the next use.
Therefore, we have specially acquired a limited quantity of the brush dedicated comb. While it's possible to substitute other types of combs, having a dedicated tool proves beneficial. The dedicated comb has thin teeth that can smoothly pass through the bristles.
It's been mentioned that there used to be shokuinin in Japan who produced these combs, but unfortunately, they have retired, and we are currently dependent on imported products. The shokunin themselves prefer using domestically crafted combs that have worn down teeth, as shown in the photo. However, the product we are offering is a new imported item, so the teeth length is consistent ☺️.
Brush Dedicated Comb (Small Size): 4.9cm × 1.6cm
＊Currently, we are offering only the small size, which is ideal for maintaining KASHIN and KASUI. If you desire other sizes, please contact shop@rimpamura.com.
