Lot of 21 Vintage Asian Calligraphy Brushes (Tenkorou, Japanese & Chinese) - Shodo / Sumi-e 【Description】 This is a fantastic collection of 21 vintage Asian calligraphy brushes (known as Fude in Japan and Mao Bi in China). This diverse lot includes both traditional Japanese domestic brushes and imported Chinese brushes (Karabude/Karamono), featuring tools from the noted maker "Tenkorou" (天香楼). [Design & Features] The brushes come in various sizes (thick to fine), making them perfect for "Shodo" (traditional calligraphy) or "Sumi-e" (ink wash painting). The handles are beautifully crafted from natural bamboo and wood, some featuring elegant carved Kanji inscriptions. [Condition Report] Condition: USED / VINTAGE (WABI-SABI) These are authentic, previously used calligrapher's and artist's and scholar's tools. They show natural signs of age, wear, and historical use, including dried ink residue on the bristles and stains/scratches on the bamboo handles. Far from being a defect, this authentic wear adds to their profound "Wabi-Sabi" aesthetic and historical charm. (Please carefully examine all photos to confirm the condition of the bristles and handles). [Shipping] Shipped carefully packed from Japan with tracking and insurance.
