筆 Maki Fude (with core)

This is a type of brush where the core hairs are wrapped and solidified with washi paper. Then, additional fine hairs are applied, and the entire structure is further secured with hemp. It is also known as "Kamimaki Fude" or "Maki Fude." The characteristic features of this brush include excellent cohesion of the bristles and resilience.

Preserving the tradition of "Kamimaki Fude," a technique dating back 400 years to the founding of "Hankeido," is a testament to its enduring legacy. The only Maki Fude workshop. The brush comes in three types: "Jakuto-gata" (sparrow-shaped), "Ippan-gata" (general-purpose), and "Fujimaki-gata" (wrapped with wisteria vine), with a total of 20 varieties and 30 brushes being crafted.

Yūshinhitsu brushes are more suitable for calligraphy due to their distinctive structure.
