仮名入り口として一番人気小筆『鼬水筆』　Best-Selling Entry-Level Brush for Kana – "Itachi Suihitsu" (Weasel Hair)

純イタチで軸径7㎜で穂長26㎜と小筆の中では中サイズといった感じです。
仮名の初心者用と言っていますが、値段の割にいい毛を使っていますので、中級者でも扱いやすい筆となっております。
イタチの水を含むと毛同士がくっつこうとする性質がありスッキリした線が書ける特徴ときっさきが効くところから仮名用と言っていますが、漢字細字でも、全ておろしても使えますのでいろんな用途に対応するかと思い、手に取りやすいお値段も含めて小筆でトップ５には入る人気筆で、こちらでも試験的に販売開始させていただきます。

"Itachi Suihitsu" is our most popular small brush for those beginning their journey with kana calligraphy.
Made from pure weasel hair, it features a handle diameter of 7 mm and a hair length of 26 mm—placing it in the medium range among small brushes.

Although marketed as a beginner-friendly brush, it uses surprisingly high-quality hair for its price, making it comfortable and effective even for intermediate calligraphers.

Weasel hair naturally clings together when moistened, producing clean, sharp strokes and a responsive tip—perfect for kana writing.
It’s also suitable for fine kanji or fully ink-loaded writing, offering great versatility across styles.

Its excellent balance of quality and affordability makes it one of our top five small brushes. We are now offering it here on a trial basis.
