軸径9.5mm、穂長42mmの馬の毛を使った筆で、元々は書き初めの名前書き用に作った筆ですが、当時少し大きめに作ってしまったらしく、割と中途半端な大きさになってしまった筆になります、、、、ところが作りはしっかりしてるし硬めの馬毛で意外に書きやすいとのことで、お値段も下げさせていただくとワークショップなどでの使用にいいと評判の筆になりました。 This is a medium-sized calligraphy brush made from sturdy horsehair, with a shaft diameter of approx. 9.5 mm and a bristle length of 42 mm. Originally designed for writing names on kakizome (New Year’s calligraphy), this brush ended up slightly larger than intended—resulting in a somewhat in-between size. While it didn’t quite fit its original purpose, it turned out to be surprisingly well-balanced and easy to use thanks to its solid construction and firm bristles. Because of its off-standard size, we’ve set a reduced price, making it a great choice for: Workshops and group lessons Beginners seeking a reliable brush Calligraphers who prefer firmer tips and clear lines A hidden gem of a brush—unexpectedly versatile and popular among workshop participants.

The cost of materials has been rising steadily year by year, but due to its popularity at our main store, we have continued to offer it at this price by carefully selecting workshops and checking quality each time.

この山馬中筆は、希少な純赤山馬の毛が持つ独特な筆先の強さが魅力です。山馬筆にしては珍しい小ぶりなサイズの穂（ほ）を持っています。 穂の長さは36㎜です。 以前、人気があったこちらの筆を再入荷したんですが、軸にシミが多かったので二割引させていただきます。 This is a rare and powerful calligraphy brush made from pure red wild horsehair (aka-yamaba / 赤山馬)—a highly prized material known for its exceptional strength and resilience. What sets this brush apart is not only the distinct stiffness of the bristles, but also its unusually compact tip for a sanba brush. With a bristle length of 36 mm, it offers greater precision and control compared to typical wild horsehair brushes, which tend to be larger and more rugged. Ideal for: Kanji writing that requires firm structure Medium-sized characters with sharp definition Calligraphers seeking strong resistance and a crisp finish The pure red mountain horsehair gives the brush tip a uniquely responsive and assertive character, making each stroke deliberate and expressive. Due to the rarity of this material, this brush is available only in very limited quantities. A standout choice for those who appreciate the bold personality and control of a finely crafted, traditional brush.

節まで頑張ればほぐせるということで 公称の穂の長さが 特大　11㎝ なんですが、節までの長さなので実際に使える長さはもっと短いかと思います。 3枚目の写真の一番左になります。 こちら、糊付けの竹筆でして、最初の扱い方も載せておきます。 まず、50〜60℃のお湯で軽く揉むぐらいで糊を落とす、この際、竹筆は小筆のように消耗品ですので、あまり激しく扱わず、落とす程度でお願いします。 さらにこの時の温度が高いと少し柔らかくなるので、そちらの方がよろしい時は温度で調整してください。温めるほど柔らかくなるそうです。 先と腹を使うとまた別の表現になる竹筆をぜひお試しください！ This extra-large bamboo brush is crafted by finely splitting the tip of a thick bamboo shaft, offering a raw, bold writing experience unlike traditional brushes. The official bristle length is listed as 11 cm, but since this measurement includes the section up to the bamboo node, the actual usable length is somewhat shorter. (In the second photo, this brush is the one on the far left.) As this is a glue-set brush, a bit of preparation is required before first use: Soak the tip in hot water (about 50–60°C) and gently rub it to remove the glue. Please be careful not to handle it too roughly, as bamboo brushes are consumables, much like small calligraphy brushes. Higher water temperatures will soften the bristles further, so feel free to adjust depending on your preferred texture. With its wide tip and solid body, this brush allows for highly expressive strokes using both the tip and the belly. Perfect for large-scale works, avant-garde calligraphy, or artists seeking something truly unconventional — we encourage you to experience the unique character of this bamboo brush.

節まで頑張ればほぐせるということで 公称の穂の長さが 大　10㎝ なんですが、節までの長さなので実際に使える長さはもっと短いかと思います。 2枚目の写真の左から２番目になります。 こちら、糊付けの竹筆でして、最初の扱い方も載せておきます。 まず、50〜60℃のお湯で軽く揉むぐらいで糊を落とす、この際、竹筆は小筆のように消耗品ですので、あまり激しく扱わず、落とす程度でお願いします。 さらにこの時の温度が高いと少し柔らかくなるので、そちらの方がよろしい時は温度で調整してください。温めるほど柔らかくなるそうです。 先と腹を使うとまた別の表現になる竹筆をぜひお試しください！ This large bamboo brush is crafted by finely splitting the tip of a thick bamboo shaft, delivering a bold and textured writing experience. The official bristle length is listed as 10 cm, but this includes the portion up to the bamboo node. The actual usable length is somewhat shorter. (For reference, the brush is the second from the left in the second photo.) Like other sizes, this is a glue-set bamboo brush and requires a bit of preparation before first use: Soak the tip in hot water (around 50–60°C) and gently rub it to remove the glue. Please handle it carefully — bamboo brushes are consumables, much like small calligraphy brushes. If a softer feel is desired, slightly increasing the water temperature will help soften the bristles. By using both the tip and the belly of the brush, you can explore a range of expressive styles. We highly recommend giving this bamboo brush a try if you’re looking to expand your calligraphy tools with something bold and unique.

節まで頑張ればほぐせるということで 公称の穂の長さが 中　8㎝ なんですが、節までの長さなので実際に使える長さはもっと短いかと思います。 三枚目の写真の右側は小サイズになります。 こちら、糊付けの竹筆でして、最初の扱い方も載せておきます。 まず、50〜60℃のお湯で軽く揉むぐらいで糊を落とす、この際、竹筆は小筆のように消耗品ですので、あまり激しく扱わず、落とす程度でお願いします。 さらにこの時の温度が高いと少し柔らかくなるので、そちらの方がよろしい時は温度で調整してください。温めるほど柔らかくなるそうです。 先と腹を使うとまた別の表現になる竹筆をぜひお試しください！ This unique bamboo brush is made by finely splitting the tip of the bamboo shaft, offering a distinct texture and writing feel. The officially listed bristle length is 8 cm, but this includes the portion up to the node (joint), so the actual usable length is slightly shorter. (For size comparison, the brush on the right in the third photo is the small version.) This is a glue-set bamboo brush, and some preparation is required before first use: Soak the tip in hot water (about 50–60°C) and gently rub it to remove the glue. Please handle it gently, as bamboo brushes are consumables similar to small calligraphy brushes. If you prefer a softer feel, you can slightly increase the water temperature — the hotter the water, the softer the bristles become. You can create varied, expressive strokes by using both the tip and the body of the brush. We highly recommend trying this bamboo brush to explore a different dimension of calligraphy expression.

こちらは当店では珍しい面相型の羊毛小筆で穂径3.5mm／穂長23mm 羊毛は古い羊毛を使っていますので、コシはある方だと思います 羊毛なので墨持ちはよくカスレもしっかり出てはらいなども綺麗にできるかと。 こちらも、近年は、あまり棚のいい場所になく数本しか販売していなく かなり当店の倉庫で寝ていた筆ですので、しばらくの期間は三割引でご提供します。 “Shiragiku” (しらぎく, meaning White Chrysanthemum) is a fine-tip mensō-style detail brush (面相筆 – mensō-fude), which is relatively rare in our shop. Crafted entirely from goat hair, it features a slender and precise tip suitable for expressive and detailed brushwork. This brush uses aged goat hair, which gives it a firmer backbone compared to typical goat-hair brushes. It offers excellent ink retention and produces beautiful intentional dry textures (kasure), while still allowing for clean and graceful sweeping strokes such as harai.

奈良で墨の普及に邁進する墨匠『錦光園』による趣向を凝らした墨になります。 松竹株式会社監修のもと、 日本の伝統文化である歌舞伎の象徴的な「隈取」をモチーフに、錦光園にて製造しました。（松竹（株）の隈取図案を使用） 代表的な歌舞伎の演目の隈取と演目にちなんだ天然の「香り」も楽しめる、アートとしての奈良墨。 隈取の「隈」とは光と陰（かげ）の境目を意味し、血管や筋肉などを大胆に表現したもの。 さらに赤い隈取は正義感や勇気、血気盛んな若さなどを表します。 墨型は、現在日本で唯一の専業「墨型彫刻師」である中村雅峯氏（1932年生）による彫刻。 職人の造形美と奈良墨の香り、豊かな墨色をお愉しみください。 隈取は、『義経千本桜』「鳥居前」に登場する佐藤忠信(実は源九郎狐)の「火焔隈」。香りは、義経千本桜の演目名にちなんだ「桜」の香り。やさしく甘やかな香りです。 墨を磨って書くことはもちろん、その造形美や香りをどうぞお愉しみください。 商品詳細 種類 菜種油煙墨 規格 2丁型（約40g） This unique ink stick was created by Kinkoen, a master ink maker in Nara dedicated to preserving and promoting the art of traditional sumi ink. Produced under the supervision of Shochiku Co., Ltd., it features a design inspired by kumadori—the bold makeup worn by kabuki actors—symbolizing Japan’s rich performing arts heritage. (The kumadori design used is an official motif licensed by Shochiku Co., Ltd.) This piece is not only a functional ink stick, but also an artistic expression of Nara sumi. It allows you to enjoy the visual beauty of its sculpted form, the deep color of the ink, and a natural fragrance that reflects the spirit of the kabuki play it represents. The term kumadori refers to the stylized shading between light and shadow, traditionally used to emphasize facial muscles and veins. The red kumadori symbolizes justice, courage, and youthful energy. The mold for this ink stick was carved by Gahō Nakamura (b. 1932), Japan’s only full-time traditional ink mold carver. Enjoy the skilled craftsmanship, the elegant shape, the delicate fragrance, and the deep tones of this handcrafted ink. This version features the Kumadori of Sato Tadanobu (actually the magical fox spirit Genkurō) from the kabuki play Yoshitsune Senbonzakura, scene “Toriimae.” The ink is scented with a gentle and sweet cherry blossom fragrance, evoking the beauty of the play’s title. Perfect not only for grinding and writing, but also as a collectible piece of cultural art.
