Description from the seller
Item Description
A large lot of Japanese calligraphy brushes (fude) in a wide range of sizes, including large, medium and fine brushes. Shaft and label markings include Hokendo (宝研堂), Shunkodo (春光堂), Kongo Honpo (金剛本舗) and Akashiya (あかしや), along with several other names. The shafts are bamboo, some natural and some lacquered or painted in black, brown, blue and orange, and the bristles vary in colour and type. A small plastic tray holding an inkstone and an ink stick is also shown in the photographs.
Some brushes still carry their original price tags. The lot mixes used brushes, brushes that appear unused, and long-stored items. The maker, hair type, materials and age of the individual brushes have not been identified. Please review all photographs for the exact brushes included. The dimensions below are for the longest brush in the lot.

The item will be carefully packaged and shipped by Japan Post or DHL, depending on the situation.
Due to the changes to the EU tax-free (VAT) system, Japan Post has become unable to ship certain goods valued at €150 or less to an increasing number of European countries. Depending on the destination and circumstances, the shipping method may therefore be changed from Japan Post to DHL.
Delivery normally takes approximately 3 weeks, or up to 3 months if the item is shipped by sea.
Please note that import duties, taxes, customs fees, and other charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer’s responsibility.
For customs clearance, your local customs office or delivery company may contact you by phone or email. To avoid any delays or the return of the parcel, please ensure that you can respond promptly to any such requests. If the parcel is returned due to an inability to contact you or
complete customs clearance, additional shipping charges, which may be more than twice the original shipping cost, will apply for reshipment.
Thank you for your kind understanding and cooperation. We will do our utmost to ensure that your item arrives safely and without any issues.
Seller's Story
A Japanese living in Japan, I appreciate traditional and modern art.
I specialize in selecting artworks that reflect quiet strength, refined beauty, and timeless craftsmanship of Japanese culture. My collection focuses on pieces that carry a story—whether traditional ukiyo‑e prints, contemporary works inspired by wabi‑sabi aesthetics, or handcrafted items created by regional artisans.
I take pride in offering works that are both visually compelling and culturally meaningful. Every item is carefully curated for authenticity, condition, and artistic value, ensuring that bidders can participate with confidence.
My goal is to connect international collectors with the richness of Japanese artistry—pieces that bring harmony, character, and a touch of Japan’s spirit into your home.
I look forward to sharing these works with you and hope they inspire the same appreciation and joy they bring to me.
