3 Pcs Top Goat Wolf Hair Chinese Caligraphy Kanji Japanese Sumi Drawing Brush Pack of 3 Set Size L M S

I was actually looking for a fairly stiff brush, and these aren't them.BUT! these are really nice to paint with.They need to be loaded pretty well (so, pretty saturated) before they release my ink consistently.And then, they sort of let go a bit too easily. So, the tip is quite pointy; but you can't get a super thin line because too much ink is released for that.Think, gentle, satiny, flowing strokes (with a bit of re-shaping, re-tipping in the dry end of the ink dish between strokes). I kind of couldn't stop making random brush strokes with these because it was such a pleasant experience and the results were very nice . . . .just not stiff (not "wolf-like" . . .. more, imagine, squirrel with dreams of snap).They do hold their shape well, in the conical sense; just not in the straight sense.Also, just FYI, the handles are kind of on the fat end of the spectrum. It felt a bit clumsy; but I'm sure I can get used to them . . .. . they're not gynormous . . . just thick.. . .. wait, I'll measure . . . . . 7/16" diameter on the handle of the large one.So, I would say these brushes have a distinct character that is a great part of a larger toolbox, and they're really nice to paint with. But I wouldn't consider them as first or only brushes. Not quite versatile enough for that.Think Cadillac, not Porsche

Wonderful wolf hair brushes, they hold a fine tip very well and bounce back to their original shape! Great for Chinese calligraphy

Very nice looking brushes. The case is cheap but from a distance it looks nice. I haven't had any issues with the hairs falling out. These are good for practicing with.

I don’t letter with brushes, I use them for painting leather dye, the sharp (fine) point is great for fine detail and the brushes load very well so I don’t run out of dye like other brushes I have. Very good. Looking for smaller and larger brushes too. Thank you, Buz Bailey.

I like the shape, the handle and the texture and weight of the bristles but they shed so much I stopped using them.

It would be ideal to sell with those Suen paper (Mo-bean rice paper) that Japanese type cannot beat.

Very good product and worth the price.

Water turns yellow when I washed the just received brush, the so-called wolf hair looks more probable to be styled to make look like wolf hair. The bamboo was also inferior in quality. I will never buy any writing brush again from amazon.
