This is a calligraphy brush, Soukaikatsu, that I purchased for 7,700 yen (tax included) ^_^ It's for writing the first calligraphy of the year ☆ The price has since increased, and it's now 8,250 yen (tax included) ^ ^ I bought it in November 4 years ago and used it 2-3 times for practice. In the end, I decided to use other brushes, so I only used it a few times. I've stored it in a cool, dark place. ● Suitable for advanced users, with moderate resilience ● For 5th and 6th graders Recommended for those who want to do their best to exhibit at the prefectural art exhibition and aim for a top prize! Also recommended for those who want to try it out before buying a new one at the regular price ^_^ ↓↓ Quoted from the Gamodo website [Although it's slightly long-haired, it has a very supple elasticity to the tip, producing sharp, solid lines. The opening and closing of the tip is smooth, making it easy to create variations, and it holds ink well. Suitable for advanced users.]
