“Karafude” refers to calligraphy brushes made in China.
While there are many well-known brands such as Shanghai Gongyi, Jindingpai, Daiyuexuan, and Suzhou Hubi, Shoyu Online carefully supervises production at trusted Chinese factories to offer reliable, high-quality brushes.
By developing our own original brushes, we reduce unnecessary costs and provide safe, well-crafted products at accessible prices.
Alongside our original brand “Kinchopai,” developed as a high-quality alternative to Jindingpai, we also offer a wide selection including “Shukan Fude.”
We invite you to experience Shoyu Online’s original Karafude brushes.

Introduction to Karafude Brushes
