This is a Xuan brush, a Chinese national intangible cultural heritage item. The wooden box with metal fittings will be disposed of. The brush will be wrapped in bubble wrap and sent without the box. If you would like the wooden box, it will be an additional 1000 yen, so please let me know in the comments. The Chinese character "狼" (láng) refers to a weasel, not a wolf. The Chinese word "正宗" (zhèngzōng) means "authentic" or "orthodox." This is a high-quality calligraphy brush, "Xuanbi (Xuan brush)," a specialty of Xuancheng Jing, Anhui Province, China. It is a famous brush as an intangible cultural heritage item, and I received it as a gift. Please understand that this item has been stored at a private residence, and purchase accordingly. #ChineseXuanBrush #Weasel #CalligraphyTools #InkPaintingBrush #PureWeaselHairBrush #KanjiBrush #Calligraphy #Shodo #HighQualityBrush #Masterpiece #CalligraphyBrush #ShodoBrush #CalligraphyTools #TheWayToExtendTheLifeOfTheBrushIsDifferentFromJapaneseBrushes #FramedPicturesAndFlatPictures #CalligraphyAndCalligraphySupplies #NationalIntangibleCulturalHeritage #NationalIntangibleCulturalHeritage #ChineseNationalIntangibleCulturalHeritage #XuanBrush #CalligraphyBrush 52500
