Collection: Sutra Copying Brush (Shakyo Brush)

SHAKYOYO HUDE

Sutra Copying Brushes Designed for Long, Continuous Writing

Sutra copying requires writing characters continuously with steady concentration.
For this practice, it is important to choose a brush that minimizes hand fatigue, features a short and responsive tip, and allows smooth control of both thick and thin lines.
Traditionally, sutra copying brushes are often made in the form known as “Jakutō Fude” (Sparrow-Head Brush), characterized by an extremely short tip and a fuller base.
Its rounded shape resembles a sparrow’s head, which is the origin of its name.
