About the Item

Along with paper, ink and inkstone, the brush is one of the Four Treasures of the scholar’s studio. Arguably the most important tool, the brush served as a direct link to the artist’s creative spirit. This vintage calligraphy brush has an elongated form ideal for sweeping brushstrokes and bold lines. The brush has a slender handle of dried bamboo root, smoked to a dark brown color and textured with small nodules reminiscent of wood burls. An ideal accessory for the office or study, the bamboo brush is finished with a fitting of dark brown hardwood and horse hair bristles.
