Inspired by legendary Chinese calligrapher General Wang Xizhi, these fine brushes handcrafted by Master Xu Laosan offer the ideal balance of stiffness and flexibility. Made from premium-quality natural stiff hair blended with resilient artificial bristles, each brush maintains a fine, precise tip ideal for Chinese calligraphy—particularly regular (Kai), semi-cursive, and cursive styles.
Their versatile design makes them equally excellent for watercolor painting. Use them to effortlessly paint bamboo, flower stems, leaf veins, or detailed tree branches, delivering exceptional line control and graceful expression in every stroke.
