Hishō Horsehair Brush 15 x 50 mm – Control and Expression in Medium Format

The Hishō brush in the size 15 x 50 mm is the more compact version for precise yet expressive calligraphy. With a hair width of 15 mm and a hair length of 50 mm, it is ideal for medium-sized Kanji, practice sheets, and finely tuned Shodō works.

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