About Our Brushes
Green Jade Japanese Art offers a selection of fine brushes, most of which have been developed primarily for various styles of brush calligraphy, painting, and sumi-e.

Sumi-e brushes are composed of two separate parts. The central core, which determines the height and basic function of the brush, is made of relatively stiff hairs gathered to form a tapered point. The outer wrapping consists of softer hairs which are selected for their greater water-holding capacity and for facilitating smooth strokes.

The hairs of the inner core and of the outer wrapping are the same length and come to a point when dipped into water. The hair structure ensures smooth maneuverability and dynamic strokes whether light or heavy pressure is applied.
