【Akashiya, Nara Brush Craftsman】
For brush making, over a dozen types of animal hair are selected, chosen for their ideal balance of softness and stiffness, and excellent ink retention. The brush quality varies depending on the animal species, the time of year the hair is collected, and the part of the body from which the hair is taken.
The skillful combination of these diverse hair types, varying in elasticity, strength, and length, is the result of years of experience and research by brush craftsmen.
Combined with traditional techniques, Nara brushes continue to be produced with exquisitely refined tips.
