Toyohashi Brush is located in Aichi prefecture; the main area for calligraphy brushes production. They are well known for their brushes that absorb ink well, release ink gently, allow excellent ink control, are smooth against the paper. Calligraphers and artists value the quality of these excellent brushes, which need to be perfect in order to survive in the competitive market, including cheap alternatives abroad. Toyohashi manages to comprise 80 percent of Japan's quality brush production!
Each brush requires extreme skill and dedication. Other than other manufacturers, Toyohashi assigns one craftsman per brush, who is responsible for the process from start to end.
To create the perfect brush, about 40 designated production steps are required, which all but the cutting of the bamboo handle, are done completely by hand!
Som of these steps include: hair selection, boiling the hair and removing natural oils, carefully mixing hair types and brushing-, teasing- and combining them so that they are perfectly distributed and won't fall out while the brush is in use. Next the handle is fitted and all hair is bound together wise a thread soaked in glue.
Tip: If you trim off the end of old calligraphy brushes, they are also perfect for ink painting!
