My daughter is studying Chinese and wanted to practice calligraphy. I bought her this brush and some magic calligraphy paper for writing with water. This brush seems to work well, it feels like quality in your hand, and is an economical choice for a beginner. When the brush arrives, the hairs are coated with glue which will need to be washed off. There are plenty of websites or you tube videos to show this step, as well as the correct way to hold the brush and to form each of the character strokes. We don’t have a brush rack, so to dry I put a string through the loop at the end of the handle and hung it from a kitchen cabinet handle to dry. Keep the plastic cap that comes with it to protect the hairs when stored; I was able to punch a small hole in the end of the cap with a tiny punch to allow some air circulation.

I brought this brush for caligraphy originally but then i ended up doing ink drawings. It sheds for the first six or so uses but its a dream. It retains ink beautifully, the lines you can get vary. I’m hard on my art supplies and it’s held up to less than stellar treatment so far.
I also like that it’s not easy to stain the handle and your fingers wit this brush.

This thing is amazing. I can’t believe how inexpensive it is for the quality. Holds its shape well and the length is perfect. I use it with India Ink mostly and couldn’t be more pleased.
