This brush was made over 20 years ago, so we affectionately refer to it as a “Kofude” (vintage brush). In the world of calligraphy, age doesn’t always mean decline—in fact, older brushes, paper, and ink can often carry unique character or even improve with time. In this case, the hair quality is surprisingly high for its price, especially compared to many modern brushes. As you can see, the bristles remain bright white and in excellent condition. We are offering this brush at its original price from the time it was made.

Hair type: Silver fox Bristle length: 36 mm Handle: Wooden (custom-colored) Size: Small Use: Kana, fine kanji, detailed writing Made in Japan A thoughtfully designed brush that combines modern materials with traditional craftsmanship, offering smooth control, responsiveness, and unique character.

This is an older, discontinued model, but we still have a limited stock available, which we are offering at a 20% discount. If you're new to long-tip brushes and feel hesitant to jump in at this length, we recommend starting with a medium brush (chūfude) instead.

This brush features a blend of white horse and goat hair, resulting in a pure white bristle with a soft and flexible touch.

While it's suitable for various expressive writing styles such as kana and modern poetic scripts, this brush has historically been favored by calligraphy instructors for corrections and annotations, thanks to its graceful flexibility and extended tip. Whether you’re looking for elegance, flow, or a tool for detailed review work, the “Hōkō” offers excellent balance and visual appeal in one refined brush.

今回は最近、本店で人気がぶり返してきた筆を紹介します！ こちらは馬毛筆で軸径11.5㎜、穂長50㎜という漢字４〜６文字にピッタリというド王道の剛毛筆になります。こちらはおそらく残りが無くなるとダルマ軸という持ち手が細い筆に変わる予定になっております。最近の流れですかね、、、ともあれ、お手に取ってもらうためにちょっとの期間、少し割引してお出しします。 We’re pleased to reintroduce the “Hakusen”, a brush that has recently seen a resurgence in popularity at our main store!

Its size and strength make it ideal for writing 4 to 6 kanji characters in bold, dynamic strokes—a true staple for those who appreciate firm, responsive brushes. Please note: This version uses a traditional full-sized handle, but once current stock runs out, it is expected to be replaced by a “Daruma-jiku” type—a thinner, lightweight handle. If you prefer the current feel, we recommend picking one up while it’s still available. Whether you’re creating formal works or practicing with intention, “Hakusen” offers the control, power, and balance trusted by many experienced calligraphers.

竹の先を細かく裂いて作られた筆です。一味違う書き味です。 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 小　6.5㎝ なんですが、4枚目の写真を見ると実際に使える穂の長さは6センチ無いですかね。 左の写真は中サイズになります。 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 brush is made by finely splitting the tip of a bamboo shaft, offering a writing experience unlike conventional brushes. Although the officially stated bristle length is 6.5 cm, as seen in the fourth photo, the usable length appears to be slightly less than 6 cm. (The brush on the left in the comparison photo is the medium size.) This is a glue-set bamboo brush, so some preparation is required before first use. Soak the tip gently in hot water (about 50–60°C) and lightly massage it to dissolve the glue. Please avoid rough handling, as bamboo brushes are considered consumables like small calligraphy brushes. If you prefer a softer texture, slightly raising the water temperature will help — the hotter the water, the softer the brush becomes. With its distinct split-tip construction, this brush allows for expressive variation depending on how you use the tip and belly. We encourage you to give it a try and explore its unique potential!

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.

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 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。 2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.
