The Akashiya Fude Oki & Kodama brush set is a thoughtfully composed two piece calligraphy set designed to provide an accessible and reliable introduction to traditional Japanese brush writing. Carefully made with balanced bristle thickness, length, and elasticity, the set supports clear, well structured character formation in accordance with standard calligraphy instruction. It is particularly well suited to school calligraphy, introductory shodo practice, and casual writing at home, providing learners with tools that encourage confidence and consistency in stroke development.
The set includes two complementary brushes, each designed to serve a distinct purpose. The larger brush produces bold, stable strokes ideal for foundational character writing, while the smaller brush offers enhanced control for finer script, detailed characters, and name writing. Together, they create a versatile pairing that supports steady progression from fundamental practice to more expressive writing techniques.
Made from carefully selected bristles, the brushes offer durability, responsive ink flow, and dependable tactile feedback. The larger brush combines horse hair, goat hair and raccoon hair to deliver strength and resilience, while the smaller brush blends horse hair, goat hair and synthetic fibres to enhance precision and ease of control.
