Chinese Calligraphy Brush, White Goat Hair, Porcelain Handle

Chinese calligraphy brush in white goat hair for calligraphy and lettering

This Chinese brush is a round brush in white goat hair for Chinese calligraphy and painting. The hairs are set in a white porcelain handle with blue decoration. A cord is attached at the end of the handle so that you can hang the brush up.

The long handle lets you hold the brush upright and move your wrist freely, as is usual when writing with ink. The round shape suits lines of varying thickness: you draw fine strokes with the tip, and they become broader with more pressure.

Care and storage

After writing, rinse the brush in clear water until no ink is left at the base of the hairs, because dried ink makes the tip stiff. Then smooth the tip back into shape and hang the brush upside down by its cord to dry, so that no water runs into the base. The porcelain is fragile, so do not put the brush loose in a full bag or drawer.
