Overview
Large Calligraphy Brush Black Mixed Hair White Hair with Black Tip 7 cm Ferrule 2.2 cm Palm Handle 18 cm For Large Characters

The large calligraphy brush with black mixed hair is designed for writing large Chinese characters with ink as well as for painting. The hair is white, darkening to a black tip towards the end, and has a length of 7 cm. At the ferrule, it measures 2.2 cm in diameter, 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 into a black conical ferrule at the hair and is capped at the opposite end with a black tip featuring a loop.

The combination of white hair and a black tip gives the brush a distinctive two-coloured appearance, making it easy to identify among other brushes. The hair tapers at the tip, allowing for not only broad strokes but also fine details and narrow endings. The handle, including the ferrule, has a length of 18 cm, and the light wood with darker grain is typical for traditional Chinese brushes. The straight shape of the handle without any widening allows you to hold the brush higher or lower depending on the size of the character you are writing. This brush is appreciated by beginners learning to write larger characters, as well as experienced calligraphers looking to add a standalone large brush to their collection.

The large mixed hair brush is useful wherever standard brushes for small writing are insufficient. With it, you can write individual characters across the full width of a larger sheet of paper, for example, the character for luck, which is traditionally displayed during festivals. You can write with both black and gold ink, making the brush suitable for preparing New Year decorations. Thanks to the length of the hair, you can work with the entire surface of the hair or just its tip, smoothly changing the width of the stroke.

Before the first use, gently moisten 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 the wet brush in a closed case and do not leave it standing in water for long periods propped against the hair to avoid deformation.

This brush made of black mixed hair is a practical choice for anyone writing large characters and inscriptions with ink. The hair length of 7 cm with a diameter of 2.2 cm at the ferrule allows for full and expressive strokes. The white hair with a black tip sets this brush apart at first glance from others in your collection. The loop at the end of the handle facilitates storage on a stand or hook. The brush will be useful for preparing festive decorations, New Year wishes, and for regular practice of Chinese calligraphy.
