Overview
Large Chinese Calligraphy Brush Jianhao Mixed Hair 4 cm Bamboo Handle 23 cm For Characters 4 to 8 cm For Calligraphy and Ink Painting

The large Marie's Jianhao mixed hair Chinese calligraphy brush is designed for traditional Chinese calligraphy and ink painting. The hair is 4 cm long and measures 1.1 cm at its widest point, making the brush suitable for characters approximately 4 to 8 cm in size. The handle is made from natural bamboo and measures 23 cm, making the brush lightweight and comfortable to hold. At the end of the handle is a cord for hanging the brush after washing, allowing it to dry with the tip facing down. This brush is appreciated by both beginners and more experienced calligraphers looking to expand their set with a specific size.

The Jianhao hair combines several types of hair, providing a balanced ratio of elasticity and softness. The manufacturer describes it as a popular choice for hobby calligraphers who want one versatile brush for both writing and painting. The tip aligns into a clean point after soaking, flexes and returns to its original shape, ensuring strokes have a definite beginning and end. The large size is intended for characters measuring 4 to 8 cm. It is suitable for more prominent inscriptions, couplets, and larger format calligraphy sheets, as well as for fuller strokes in Chinese landscape painting and watercolour.

The hair of the new brush is factory-set into a pointed shape. Before first use, gently squeeze it with your fingers and carefully remove any loose setting, then soak the brush in water for 5 to 10 minutes. After soaking, gently squeeze the hair several times and rotate the brush to align the tip into a point. Dip the brush into the ink approximately two-thirds of the hair length, ensuring the root remains dry. After use, rinse the brush in lukewarm water, align the hair into a point, and allow it to dry freely.

The large Jianhao mixed hair Chinese calligraphy brush is a practical tool for anyone engaged in calligraphy or ink painting. The handle length of 23 cm ensures comfortable holding and sufficient distance between the hand and paper. The brush can manage writing characters as well as painting landscapes, flowers, and birds. It is suitable for independent practice at home, art courses, or as an addition to an already used set of brushes. Each size in this range has its own recommended character range, making it easy to supplement exactly the brush you need.
