Overview
Calligraphy Brush 10 pcs Weasel Hair Fine Tip for Small Characters Xiaokai Spotted Bamboo Handle with Cap Chinese Brush for Ink and Painting

The set includes 10 identical calligraphy brushes, designed primarily for writing small regular script, known in Chinese tradition as xiaokai. The tip of each brush is made from weasel hair, which is more resilient and stiffer than soft wool, allowing it to return to a point after each stroke. This makes it suitable for writing small characters, fine lines, and precise details. The brush is ideal for beginners learning calligraphy as well as experienced calligraphers and painters who need a reliable tool for delicate work. You will appreciate the larger quantity in the pack for regular practice, in calligraphy courses, or in the studio.

The handle is made from natural spotted bamboo, which is lightweight and fits comfortably in the hand even during extended writing sessions. The tip is set in a dark ring at the end of the handle, and on the opposite end, there is a cord loop for hanging the brush after washing, allowing the hair to dry with the tip down and maintain its shape. Each brush comes with a transparent protective cap that safeguards the tip during transport and storage, preventing the hair from fraying.

A new brush typically has a tip reinforced with starch, so before first use, gently soak it in lukewarm water and carefully loosen it with your fingers. After each writing session, rinse the ink out with clean water, gently reshape the tip into a point, and allow the brush to dry hanging by the loop. Only place the cap on a dry tip. Do not leave the brushes standing tip down in a container of water, as this will bend the hair and lose its shape.

A pack of ten identical brushes is a practical choice for anyone who regularly writes Chinese characters and wants to have spare brushes on hand. Brushes with a weasel hair tip can handle fine strokes, small characters, and signatures, and are also suitable for fine lines in traditional ink painting. The lightweight bamboo handle with a loop makes handling and care easier, and the transparent cap protects the tip between sessions. This set is useful at home, in school, in calligraphy courses, and in the studio. It also makes a suitable gift for lovers of Asian art and Chinese calligraphy.
