Kana Fine Writing Brush

For Kana Brushes, the Tip Is Everything

When choosing a kana fine writing brush, consider whether the tip rotates smoothly, whether it has spring, and how well it holds ink.
Depending on the classical style you are writing, you will need to select different brushes.
Since the writing style puts heavy use on the tip, just like fine writing brushes, it is best to replace them frequently.
We recommend purchasing several brushes and using them gradually.
For beginners in kana, we recommend weasel hair brushes with shorter tips that gather well.

Types of Hair Used in Kana Fine Brushes

Mainly weasel hair, tama hair (cat hair), rabbit hair, and raccoon hair are used.
Weasel hair is soft, flexible, and considered the standard.
Rabbit hair is harder and has more resilience compared to weasel hair.
Tama hair forms a sharp, well-gathered tip, with stickiness and elasticity.
