Collection: Brush for New Year’s Kanji Writing

KANJI KAKIZOMEYOHUDE

Brushes for Powerful Kakizome Calligraphy

These brushes are recommended by Shoyu for kakizome, the traditional first calligraphy of the New Year.
They are ideal for writing boldly on quarter-size or half-size paper with dynamic strokes.
If you write with strong pressure, choosing a slightly smaller brush will give you better control.
If your pressure is light, a slightly larger brush allows smoother, fuller lines.
Loading the brush generously with ink and writing large characters with energy is a refreshing and satisfying experience.

On this page, we also introduce other recommended items for kakizome, along with phrases that are especially suitable for the first writing of the year.
