Hishō horsehair brush 24 x 90 mm – power and precision in a large format

The Hishō brush is designed for generous, powerful lettering. With a hair width of 24 mm and a hair length of 90 mm, it is ideally suited for large-format kanji, expressive shodō compositions, and dynamic sumi-e work.

The high-quality horsehair gives the brush a balanced elasticity. It holds enough ink for long, flowing strokes and at the same time reacts precisely to changes in pressure – from clear lines to rich, powerful areas.

Shodō – Concentration in Motion

In Shodō, the "way of writing," technique and mindset merge. Every stroke arises from a moment of concentration – similar to Chadō, the way of tea.

A large-format calligraphy brush like the Hishō demands presence and clarity. It invites the use of the entire arm and the experience of writing as a physical movement.

Ideal for large-format works

The Hishō brush is particularly suitable for:

• large-scale kanji characters

• Wall art or practice pieces in large format

• expressive Sumi-e painting

• advanced Shodō practice

Its size gives it a special dynamic – perfect for powerful compositions with clear lines.
