What is a Premium Wool Brush?
A wool brush, also known as a “羊毛筆” (yōmō fude) in Japanese, is a brush made entirely from goat hair. It is characterized by its soft bristles, good elasticity, and excellent ink absorption. Premium wool brushes are crafted using select goat hairs from within the goat’s coat. These brushes allow for creating gentle and nuanced calligraphy. When used with a short tip, they produce warm and full-bodied strokes, while with a long tip, they can create refined and elegant lines. Wool brushes are exceptionally soft, requiring skill to wield effectively. However, they offer an outstanding writing experience, making them recommended for those who wish to explore new calligraphy styles.
～Renowned Calligraphers and Wool Brushes～
Wool brushes have been favored by many accomplished calligraphers. Figures like Ueda Sōkyū (上田桑鳩) and Teshima Yūkei (手島右卿) are known for their dedication, even creating their own original wool brushes. Wool brushes are essential for expressing the moment when the ink is applied to paper, showing the gradual spread of ink and the appearance of texture. Writing with a wool brush also demands an awareness of the brush’s core and the balance of characters, making it a valuable tool for learning calligraphy, be it for kanji or kana. We recommend trying various types of wool brushes if you aspire to delve deeply into the art of calligraphy.
