Horsehair brush Hishō 15 x 60 mm – control and expression in medium format

The Hishō brush, measuring 15 x 60 mm, is the more compact option for precise yet expressive lettering. With a bristle width of 15 mm and a bristle length of 60 mm, it is ideally suited for medium-sized kanji, practice sheets, and finely detailed shodō work.

Made from high-quality horsehair, this calligraphy brush combines elasticity and excellent ink retention. It responds sensitively to changes in pressure, allowing for both controlled lines and lively, dynamic strokes.
