Handmade brushes with a particular taste for drawing

Each brush tip is carefully handcrafted by brush craftsmen.

The brush can be used to draw boldly and delicately with the touch of a brush, and by moistening the tip with water or paper in advance, soft shades of gray can be freely expressed.

If there is "SAI", it is your atelier!

It can be used for watercolor painting, sketching, illustration, sutra copying, and many other purposes!

They also make great gifts, and are very popular with people from overseas!

How the Akashiya Brush is made

  • 1.Combing out

    Comb through the hairs, remove all the wadding at the roots, spread them out on a board, and mix them well.

  • 2.Firing

    Sprinkle the ashes of rice husks, heat them over a charcoal fire, degrease them to improve the ink content, and then wrap them in deerskin and rub them to straighten out the frizzy hair.

  • 3.Claw plucking

    Align the tips of the hairs by pulling them out little by little with fingertips, without using tools.

  • 4.Aligning the tips

    Place the hairs in a group on a metal plate, tap the plate from the tip of the hairs, and use the vibration to align the hairs toward the tip of the hairs.

  • 5.Reverse hair removal

    Using a blade called a hansashi and your fingers, you pull out the reverse hairs, in which the tips and roots are reversed. This is the first step in hair selection.

  • 6.Cutting

    A brush cannot be made from a single type of hair. Therefore, various types of hairs with different properties are cut into long and short lengths: 1, 2, 3, and so on, according to their role in the brush.

  • 7."Hirame" Matching

    The hairs cut into small pieces are called "Hirame", and the matching of each "Hirame" is called "Hirame"-matching.

  • 8.Mixing and kneading

    The various types of hair that have been cut into small pieces are kneaded together several times to ensure that there is no unevenness or unevenness.

  • 9.Core setting, “Shin-Tate"

    According to the diameter of the tip of the brush to be made, the bristles are passed through a small tube called a "Koma" to determine the thickness of the bristles. This is called “Shin-Tate".

  • 10.Coating the top bristles

    The top bristles are spread thinly and wrapped around the core.

  • 11.Bending

    A burning iron is applied to the end of the ear to harden the base, and then it is tied with hemp thread. This completes the brush.

  • 12.Glueing

    To make a hardened brush, the ear is dipped in glue solution and allowed to soak into the inside of the brush.

  • 13. Shaping the brush

    While squeezing out the glue with a thread, shape the brush tip.

  • 14. Completion

    The process is completed when dry.
