Shodō L brush made of animal hair 10 x 52 mm – expression in every line

The Shodō L brush was developed for powerful, vibrant strokes. With a hair length of 52 mm and a width of 10 mm, it is ideally suited for larger characters, expressive compositions, and dynamic lines in Shodō and Sumi-e.

Its flexible animal hair tip allows for smooth transitions between fine lines and rich, broad strokes – precisely those nuances that make Japanese calligraphy so vibrant.

Tradition of Shodō – the Way of Writing

Shodō, the “way of writing”, is one of the classical Japanese arts – alongside Chadō (way of tea), Kōdō (way of fragrance) and Ikebana (way of flowers).

As in Chadō, Shodō is not just about technique, but about attitude: presence in the moment, clarity of mind, and respect for material and movement.

A high-quality calligraphy brush is more than just a tool – it is the direct connection between hand, heart and paper.

For powerful symbols and expressive compositions

The Shodō L is particularly suitable for:

• larger kanji characters

• dynamic writing exercises

• expressive Sumi-e brush painting

• Practice and refinement of one's own technique

Thanks to the natural animal hair, the brush reacts sensitively to changes in pressure and allows for controlled, yet lively lines.
