Overview
Large Calligraphy Brush Wolf Hair Brown Hair 7 cm Ferrule 2.2 cm Palm Handle 18 cm with Loop For Spring Couplets and Large Characters

The large calligraphy brush with wolf hair is designed for writing large Chinese characters in ink as well as for painting. The hair has a rich brown colour and a length of 7 cm, with a ferrule measuring 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 of Rhapis humilis palm transitions to a black conical ferrule at the hair. At the end of the handle is a black end cap with a loop, allowing you to hang the brush after use.

Wolf hair is one of the traditional materials for Chinese calligraphy brushes, and the brown hair of this model tapers to a pronounced point. This allows 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, has a length of 18 cm and the light wood with a darker grain is visually typical of 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. The brush is suitable for beginners who want to learn to write larger characters, as well as for experienced calligraphers who need a standalone large brush for their set.

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

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 the ink stops flowing from it, and reshape the hair back to a point with your fingers. Dry it hanging with the hair down 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 deforming the hair.

This wolf hair brush is a practical choice for anyone writing large characters and inscriptions in ink. The hair length of 7 cm with a diameter of 2.2 cm at the ferrule allows for full and expressive strokes. The distinctive brown hair is easily distinguishable 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 wishes, and for regular practice of Chinese calligraphy.
