Overview
Set of 3 Calligraphy Brushes Made from Weasel Hair Large Medium and Small Tip 3.6 to 4.8 cm Wooden Handle 24 cm For Calligraphy and Ink Painting

The set of three Chinese calligraphy brushes is designed for writing characters with ink, practising calligraphy, and traditional painting. The tips are made from weasel hair, which is flexible, retains the shape of the tip well, and straightens itself after lifting the brush from the paper. The brushes feature an elegant wooden handle in a dark red shade, which slightly widens towards the tip and fits comfortably in the hand. The package includes three sizes labelled L, M, and S, allowing you to cover larger characters, everyday writing, and fine details with just one set. This set is suitable for beginners who are just trying their hand at calligraphy, as well as for more experienced users looking to supplement their tools.

The small brush has a tip length of 3.6 cm with a diameter of 0.9 cm, the medium tip measures 4.2 cm with a diameter of 1.0 cm, and the large tip is 4.8 cm with a diameter of 1.2 cm. The handle length for all three brushes is approximately 24 cm, making them equally comfortable to work with, and the hand does not need to adjust to a different grip. At the top end of the handle, there is a cord loop, allowing you to hang the brush tip down after washing and let it dry freely. The brown weasel hair is firmer compared to soft wool and provides better control over the stroke, making it suitable for regular script as well as sharp lines and precise stroke endings.

Before first use, soak the tip in clean water and gently rub it with your fingers to release the starch sizing that protects the shape of the tip during transport. After each writing session, rinse the brush in lukewarm water until the ink stops flowing out, gently squeeze out the excess water, and reshape the tip to a point. Then hang the brush by the loop tip down and let it dry freely. Do not leave the tip standing in water for long periods and do not dry it with hot air to avoid deforming the hair and to maintain its flexibility.

The set of three brushes made from weasel hair offers a practical combination of three sizes in one package for daily practice and creation. The large brush is suitable for bold characters, the medium for everyday writing, and the small for signatures, small characters, and details in painting. The wooden handle of 24 cm with a loop facilitates work and drying after washing. You will appreciate this set at home, in school, in a calligraphy course, or as a gift for lovers of Asian culture. It is a good foundation for anyone who wants to write Chinese characters in a traditional manner.
