Overview
Chinese Calligraphy Brush with Brown Weasel Hair Tip Hard Tip for Small Kaishu Script Length 23.5 cm Bamboo Handle for Calligraphy

The traditional Chinese calligraphy brush is designed for writing small regular kaishu script, which requires clean and precisely finished strokes. The tip is made from hard weasel hair in a natural brown shade, which does not spread while writing and returns well to a point. The handle made of natural bamboo with typical joints is lightweight and fits comfortably in the hand even during extended writing sessions. The brush is appreciated by beginners learning the basic strokes of Chinese characters, as well as by experienced calligraphers who need a reliable tool for small writing. It is also suitable for fine lines and details in traditional ink painting.

The total length of the brush is 23.5 cm, making it easy to work with at a table over paper or over fabric for writing with water. At the end of the handle is a cord loop, which allows the brush to be hung on a stand after washing, so the tip dries downwards and retains its shape. The tip is protected by a transparent cover upon delivery, which should only be placed on a dry brush. The firmer hair holds tension, allowing for good pressure transfer from the hand to the stroke and enabling a smooth transition between thin and thicker lines.

Before the first use, gently soak the tip in lukewarm water and gently rub the hair between your fingers to loosen it and allow it to absorb ink properly. After each writing session, rinse the ink out with clean water until the colour stops flowing from the tip, squeeze out any excess water onto a paper towel, and reshape the tip to a point. Allow the brush to dry hanging by the loop or lying flat, never with the tip up, to prevent water from running into the ferrule. Do not wash it in hot water or with aggressive cleaning agents that could dry out the hair.

This calligraphy brush combines traditional Chinese craftsmanship with practical dimensions for daily practice. Weasel hair provides the tip with the strength and flexibility needed for small characters, while the bamboo handle remains lightweight and easy to control. It is suitable for teaching calligraphy in schools and at home, for copying texts, writing wishes and signatures, or for adding fine details to paintings. Thanks to the loop, it can be easily stored on a stand among other brushes. It is a practical choice for anyone looking to improve their handwriting and immerse themselves in the calming rhythm of traditional writing.
