The Akashiya Fude two piece brush set unites tradition, sustainability, and versatile performance in a thoughtfully curated pair of Japanese calligraphy brushes. Designed for learning, practice, and creative expression, these brushes are perfect for school calligraphy, hobbyist use, and general shodo training. Their natural bristles offer responsive control, enabling artists to create both sharp, confident strokes and soft, flowing lines, making them suitable for a variety of scripts on hanshi paper.
The set includes two complementary brushes - a larger main brush and a smaller detail brush - each engineered for balanced control and expressive potential. The bristles combine traditional natural fibres selected to optimise ink flow, resilience, and responsiveness.
