Overview
Large Calligraphy Brush Bear Hair Dark Hair 7 cm Ferrule 2.2 cm Straight Palm Handle 18 cm with Loop for Large Characters and Ink Painting

The large calligraphy brush with bear hair is designed for writing large Chinese characters in ink as well as for painting. The hair is dark, almost black, and measures 7 cm in length, with a ferrule diameter of 2.2 cm, allowing the brush to hold enough ink for broad and full strokes. It is suitable for writing spring couplets on red paper, festive inscriptions, and for regular calligraphy practice. The straight light handle made from Rhapis humilis palm transitions at the hair into a black conical ferrule. At the end of the handle is a black end cap with a loop, which allows you to hang the brush after use.

Bear hair forms a dark brush that slightly transitions to a lighter shade at the ferrule and tapers to a point towards the end. This enables it to manage not only broad strokes but also tapering at the end of the stroke and finer details of the character. The handle, including the ferrule, measures 18 cm, and the light wood with darker grain is visually typical of traditional Chinese brushes. The straight shape of the handle without widening allows you to hold the brush higher or lower depending on the size of the character you are writing. The brush is suitable for beginners who wish to learn to write larger characters, as well as for experienced calligraphers who need a separate large brush for their set.

The large bear hair brush is ideal wherever standard brushes for small writing are insufficient. On larger sheets of paper, you can write individual characters across the full width of the page, such as the character for luck, which is traditionally displayed during holidays. You can write with both black and gold ink, making the brush useful for preparing New Year decorations. Thanks to the length of the hair, you can work with the entire hair surface or just its tip, thus varying the stroke width as needed.

Before the first use, gently soak the hair in clean water to loosen and spread it. After writing, rinse the brush in lukewarm water until no ink flows out, and reshape the hair back to a point with your fingers. Dry it hanging by the loop with the hair downwards to prevent water from running into the handle. Do not store a wet brush in a closed case and do not leave it standing in water leaning on the hair for long, as this can deform the hair.

This bear hair brush is a practical choice for anyone who writes large characters and inscriptions in ink. The hair length of 7 cm with a ferrule diameter of 2.2 cm allows for full and expressive strokes. The distinctive dark hair is easily recognisable among other brushes in your set. The loop at the end of the handle makes it easy to store on a stand or hook. The brush is useful for preparing festive decorations, New Year greetings, and for regular practice of Chinese calligraphy.
