柔毛！短穂！馬腹毛筆『珍毫筆・超品三分』　Rare Soft-Hair Brush – “Chingōhitsu: Supreme Grade – Sanbun”

馬の腹毛のみで作った『珍毫筆』
柔らかく羊毛に似た味わいで面白いと近代詩文などの先生に好まれています。
こちらは軸径10mm／穂長35mmの短穂の筆。
馬のお腹の毛自体があまり長いものがなく馬の毛全体の割合でも少ない希少な毛なんですが、
そこからさらに職人がいい毛だけを選って集めた今では作ることができない筆になります。
高級筆で有名な愛知県豊橋の職人が作った他ではあまりお目にかかれない逸品だと思います。

(Made from Pure Horse Belly Hair – Short Tip)

This exceptional brush is part of the “Chingōhitsu” (珍毫筆, Rare Hair Brush) series, made entirely from horse belly hair—a material prized for its softness and supple texture, often compared to goat hair but with a unique character of its own.

Favored by calligraphers of modern poetic and prose works, this brush offers a gentle touch and expressive control, especially suited for writing that requires subtlety and tone variation.

The short bristle tip—measuring just 35 mm—is paired with a 10 mm shaft diameter, providing a compact and responsive feel. The hairs used are not only rare, but hand-selected from the finest portion of an already limited supply, making this brush truly irreplaceable by today’s standards.

Specifications
• Hair type: 100% horse belly hair
• Shaft diameter: 10 mm

• Brush style: Short-tip / soft-hair type

Note: Due to the rarity of the material and the impossibility of current reproduction, this is a once-in-a-generation brush for collectors and professionals alike.
