Handmade Sumi-Style Brush - Mixed Horsehair with Burned and Engraved Bamboo Handle

This handmade brush is made with premium mixed horsehair, left with its natural, uncut, pointed tips. The bristles have a strong spring and good flex, with a soft feel that still holds its shape well. Absorbency is strong, allowing the brush to carry a generous amount of medium for continuous, fluid mark-making. The bamboo handle is finished with a burned and engraved pattern, giving it a subtle texture in the hand and a balanced, comfortable feel during use. This is a larger brush head that performs especially well with fluid, water-based media, where its capacity and movement can really be used.
