**Applications:** Maki-e, Kintsugi **Hair Material:** Weasel Hair / Saikouhou Goat Hair **Overall Length:** 232 mm **Hair Length:** 24 mm (Ultra Fine Detail 8) **Hair Diameter:** 0.7 mm **Specification:** Not a Sazu-style brush ### Available Sizes **Roukou Makie-fude saibyou 6** Hair Diameter: 0.7 mm Hair Length: 18 mm (6 bu) **Roukou Makie-fude saibyou 8** Hair Diameter: 0.7 mm Hair Length: 24 mm (8 bu) --- ## Maki-e Fine Detail Series Choose from four distinct brush types, each offering a different painting feel to match your technique and application. The Roukou Maki-e Brush was developed for drawing extremely fine, precise lines in Maki-e lacquer decoration, ceramic painting, and other detailed work. By combining premium **Saikouhou goat hair** with carefully selected **weasel hair**, this brush produces lines as delicate as a strand of hair while maintaining exceptional control. Unlike traditional Maki-e brushes made with cat hair (Tamage), Roukou provides excellent point retention together with balanced resilience, allowing smooth control of both straight and curved lines. --- ## A Brush Tip Designed for Ultra-Fine Lines The brush tip uses **Saikouhou**, one of the highest grades of goat hair, valued for its exceptionally fine natural tips and excellent point formation. Weasel hair is blended into the brush to provide moderate resilience and responsive spring. Because Saikouhou has long, extremely fine fibers, the brush maintains sufficient hair volume while preserving an exceptionally sharp point, allowing stable and consistent ultra-fine line work. --- ## Two Hair Lengths for Different Applications ### Fine Detail 6 (18 mm Hair Length) Offers excellent tip control for intricate patterns, short strokes, and highly detailed work. ### Fine Detail 8 (24 mm Hair Length) The longer, more flexible tip excels at flowing curves and long continuous lines. --- ## Suitable for Many Types of Fine Detail Work Although developed for Maki-e, this brush is also suitable for: * Ceramic decoration * Nihonga (Japanese painting) * Watercolor painting * Any application requiring extremely fine lines --- # About the Fine Detail Series Every brush in the Fine Detail Series has the same **0.7 mm hair diameter**, while different hair combinations create distinct painting characteristics. All models are designed for ultra-fine line work, but each offers a different balance of: * Tip responsiveness * Resilience * Softness * Flexibility * Line control Choose the model that best matches your preferred painting feel. --- ## Roukou (Weasel Hair / Saikouhou Goat Hair) The sharpest and most delicate model in the series. Outstanding tip responsiveness allows effortless control of both straight and curved lines. **Approximate Finest Line Width:** 0.05–0.15 mm --- ## Shikou (Muskrat Hair / Saikouhou Goat Hair) A firm, resilient model capable of producing crisp, powerful fine lines. While slightly less suited to expressive curves than Roukou, it excels at stable straight-line work. **Approximate Finest Line Width:** 0.10–0.20 mm --- ## Kouyou (Saikouhou Goat Hair / Nylon) A softer model than Roukou with increased flexibility. Suitable for both straight and curved lines, offering a smooth, gentle painting feel that naturally follows the surface. **Approximate Finest Line Width:** 0.15–0.25 mm --- ## Kouma (Saikouhou Goat Hair / Horse Belly Hair / Nylon) The softest and most flexible model in the series. The brush tip gently spreads as it touches the surface, producing calm, smooth, controlled lines. **Approximate Finest Line Width:** 0.20–0.30 mm --- *Line width will vary depending on the lacquer or paint used, viscosity, paint load, brush pressure, and painting surface. The values above indicate approximate minimum line widths under ideal conditions.* --- # About the Ultra Fine Series The **Fine Detail Series** features a **0.7 mm hair diameter** and is specifically designed for producing the finest possible lines. The **Ultra Fine Series**, by comparison, uses a **1.4 mm hair diameter**, providing greater paint-holding capacity. This makes it suitable not only for delicate line work but also for applications requiring more paint, such as filling areas and Kintsugi. Like the Fine Detail Series, the Ultra Fine Series is available in four different hair combinations, each offered in two hair lengths. --- View the full Maki-e Brush collection: https://en.sgd-fude.shop/categories/4813506 View the full Menso Brush collection: https://en.sgd-fude.shop/categories/4813315

The Shikou Maki-e Brush was developed for drawing extremely fine, precise lines in Maki-e lacquer decoration, ceramic painting, and other detailed work. Shikou is designed for artists who require stable, sharp, and controlled straight lines. --- ## A Brush Tip Designed for Ultra-Fine Lines The brush tip combines **Saikouhou**, one of the highest grades of goat hair known for its exceptionally fine natural tips and excellent point formation, with resilient **muskrat hair**. Like the weasel hair used in the Roukou model, muskrat hair provides strong resilience. However, muskrat hair produces a firmer, more responsive tip and offers slightly less point cohesion and flexibility when following curved lines. For this reason, the hairs are not simply blended at equal lengths. Instead, the internal hair lengths and blending ratio are carefully adjusted within the ferrule to optimize performance. This construction preserves the strong resilience of muskrat hair while producing a sharp, stable brush tip capable of drawing consistent ultra-fine lines. Compared with Roukou, Shikou offers slightly less freedom for expressive curves but provides excellent control for straight lines and bold, precise fine line work. Because muskrat hair is generally more affordable than weasel hair, Shikou also offers an excellent balance between performance and value. --- ## Two Hair Lengths for Different Applications ### Fine Detail 5 (15 mm Hair Length) The shorter tip provides a firmer painting feel, making it ideal for short straight lines, intricate patterns, and highly controlled detail work. ### Fine Detail 7 (21 mm Hair Length) Offers greater flexibility than Fine Detail 5, making it well suited for long straight lines and continuous line work. --- ## Suitable for Many Types of Fine Detail Work Although developed for Maki-e, this brush is also suitable for: * Ceramic decoration * Nihonga (Japanese painting) * Watercolor painting * Any application requiring extremely fine lines --- # About the Fine Detail Series Every brush in the Fine Detail Series has the same **0.7 mm hair diameter**, while different hair combinations create distinct painting characteristics.

The Kouyou Makie-fude saibyou was developed for drawing extremely fine, precise lines in Maki-e lacquer decoration, ceramic painting, and other detailed work. Kouyou is designed for artists who prefer soft, smooth ultra-fine lines with a gentle, slightly adhesive painting feel. --- ## A Brush Tip Designed for Ultra-Fine Lines The brush tip combines **Saikouhou**, one of the highest grades of goat hair known for its exceptionally fine natural tips and excellent point formation, with flexible nylon fibers. By replacing the weasel hair used in the Roukou model with nylon, Kouyou offers a more affordable alternative while preserving the sharp, delicate brush tip made possible by Saikouhou. Because nylon holds less lacquer or paint than natural hair, its proportion has been carefully limited, allowing Saikouhou goat hair to remain the primary material. As a result, Kouyou has gentler resilience and spring than Roukou. When the brush touches the surface, the tip follows it with a subtle, slightly adhesive feel, producing smooth and controlled ultra-fine lines. Although the lines are slightly broader than those produced by Roukou, they remain exceptionally delicate while offering a softer, calmer drawing experience. For Maki-e artists who prefer a brush that settles naturally onto the surface rather than reacting too sharply when placing lacquer, Kouyou provides an excellent balance of control and comfort. Despite sharing the same hair lengths as Roukou, Kouyou offers a distinctly softer, more flexible painting feel at a more accessible price point. --- ## Two Hair Lengths for Different Applications ### Fine Detail 6 (18 mm Hair Length) The shorter tip offers excellent control for short strokes, intricate patterns, and detailed decorative work. ### Fine Detail 8 (24 mm Hair Length) The longer tip takes full advantage of Kouyou's softness and flexibility, making it ideal for long lines and gentle flowing curves. --- ## Suitable for Many Types of Fine Detail Work Although developed for Maki-e, this brush is also suitable for: * Ceramic decoration * Nihonga (Japanese painting) * Watercolor painting * Any application requiring extremely fine lines --- # About the Fine Detail Series Every brush in the Fine Detail Series has the same **0.7 mm hair diameter**, while different hair combinations create distinct painting characteristics.

Like the Fine Detail Series, the Ultra Fine Series is available in four different hair combinations, each offered in two hair lengths. --- **View the full Maki-e Brush collection:** https://en.sgd-fude.shop/categories/4813506 **View the full Menso Brush collection:** https://en.sgd-fude.shop/categories/4813315

**Applications:** Maki-e, Kintsugi **Hair Material:** Saikouhou Goat Hair / Nylon **Overall Length:** 226 mm **Hair Length:** 18 mm (Ultra Fine Detail 6) **Hair Diameter:** 0.7 mm **Specification:** Not a Sazu-style brush ### Available Sizes **Kouyou Makie-fude saibyou 6** Hair Diameter: 0.7 mm Hair Length: 18 mm (6 bu) **Kouyou Makie-fude saibyou 8** Hair Diameter: 0.7 mm Hair Length: 24 mm (8 bu) --- ## Maki-e Fine Detail Series Choose from four distinct brush types, each offering a different painting feel to match your technique and application. The Kouyou Makie-fude saibyou was developed for drawing extremely fine, precise lines in Maki-e lacquer decoration, ceramic painting, and other detailed work. Kouyou is designed for artists who prefer soft, smooth ultra-fine lines with a gentle, slightly adhesive painting feel. --- ## A Brush Tip Designed for Ultra-Fine Lines The brush tip combines **Saikouhou**, one of the highest grades of goat hair known for its exceptionally fine natural tips and excellent point formation, with flexible nylon fibers. By replacing the weasel hair used in the Roukou model with nylon, Kouyou offers a more affordable alternative while preserving the sharp, delicate brush tip made possible by Saikouhou. Because nylon holds less lacquer or paint than natural hair, its proportion has been carefully limited, allowing Saikouhou goat hair to remain the primary material. As a result, Kouyou has gentler resilience and spring than Roukou. When the brush touches the surface, the tip follows it with a subtle, slightly adhesive feel, producing smooth and controlled ultra-fine lines. Although the lines are slightly broader than those produced by Roukou, they remain exceptionally delicate while offering a softer, calmer drawing experience. For Maki-e artists who prefer a brush that settles naturally onto the surface rather than reacting too sharply when placing lacquer, Kouyou provides an excellent balance of control and comfort. Despite sharing the same hair lengths as Roukou, Kouyou offers a distinctly softer, more flexible painting feel at a more accessible price point. --- ## Two Hair Lengths for Different Applications ### Fine Detail 6 (18 mm Hair Length) The shorter tip offers excellent control for short strokes, intricate patterns, and detailed decorative work. ### Fine Detail 8 (24 mm Hair Length) The longer tip takes full advantage of Kouyou's softness and flexibility, making it ideal for long lines and gentle flowing curves. --- ## Suitable for Many Types of Fine Detail Work Although developed for Maki-e, this brush is also suitable for: * Ceramic decoration * Nihonga (Japanese painting) * Watercolor painting * Any application requiring extremely fine lines --- # About the Fine Detail Series Every brush in the Fine Detail Series has the same **0.7 mm hair diameter**, while different hair combinations create distinct painting characteristics. All models are designed for ultra-fine line work, but each offers a different balance of: * Tip responsiveness * Resilience * Softness * Flexibility * Line control Choose the model that best matches your preferred painting feel. --- ## Roukou (Weasel Hair / Saikouhou Goat Hair) The sharpest and most delicate model in the series. Outstanding tip responsiveness allows effortless control of both straight and curved lines. **Approximate Finest Line Width:** 0.05–0.15 mm --- ## Shikou (Muskrat Hair / Saikouhou Goat Hair) A firm, resilient model capable of producing crisp, powerful fine lines. While slightly less suited to expressive curves than Roukou, it excels at stable straight-line work. **Approximate Finest Line Width:** 0.10–0.20 mm --- ## Kouyou (Saikouhou Goat Hair / Nylon) A softer model than Roukou with increased flexibility. Suitable for both straight and curved lines, offering a smooth, gentle painting feel that naturally follows the surface. **Approximate Finest Line Width:** 0.15–0.25 mm --- ## Kouma (Saikouhou Goat Hair / Horse Belly Hair / Nylon) The softest and most flexible model in the series. The brush tip gently spreads as it touches the surface, producing calm, smooth, controlled lines. **Approximate Finest Line Width:** 0.20–0.30 mm --- *Line width will vary depending on the lacquer or paint used, viscosity, paint load, brush pressure, and painting surface. The values above indicate approximate minimum line widths under ideal conditions.* --- # About the Ultra Fine Series The **Fine Detail Series** features a **0.7 mm hair diameter** and is specifically designed for producing the finest possible lines. The **Ultra Fine Series**, by comparison, uses a **1.4 mm hair diameter**, providing greater paint-holding capacity.

The Kouma Makie-fude saibyou was developed for drawing extremely fine, precise lines in Maki-e lacquer decoration, ceramic painting, and other detailed work. Kouma is the softest and most flexible model in the Fine Detail Series, designed for artists who prefer smooth, gentle ultra-fine lines. --- ## A Brush Tip Designed for Ultra-Fine Lines The brush tip combines premium **Saikouhou goat hair**, flexible nylon fibers, and **horse belly hair**. Compared with ordinary horse body hair, horse belly hair is softer and more flexible. When the brush touches the surface, the tip gently spreads, creating a smooth and controlled painting feel. By incorporating horse belly hair, Kouma provides even greater flexibility and adhesion than Kouyou. As the brush tip settles onto the surface, it naturally opens slightly, allowing soft, calm, and highly controlled lines to be drawn. Although the resulting lines are slightly broader than those produced by Kouyou, the brush offers a unique feeling of the tip gently following the surface, making it well suited for carefully placing lacquer or paint with a controlled touch. Kouma is recommended for artists who prefer softness and flexibility over strong resilience and sharp spring. --- ## Two Hair Lengths for Different Applications ### Fine Detail 5 (15 mm Hair Length) Maintains Kouma's soft painting feel while offering greater control for intricate detail work. ### Fine Detail 7 (21 mm Hair Length) The longer tip further enhances Kouma's softness and flexibility, making it ideal for long lines and gentle flowing curves. --- ## Suitable for Many Types of Fine Detail Work Although developed for Maki-e, this brush is also suitable for: * Ceramic decoration * Nihonga (Japanese painting) * Watercolor painting * Any application requiring extremely fine lines --- # About the Fine Detail Series Every brush in the Fine Detail Series has the same **0.7 mm hair diameter**, while different hair combinations create distinct painting characteristics.

The Roukou Makie-fude gokuboso was developed for artists who require both delicate line work and controlled paint application in Maki-e lacquer decoration, ceramic painting, Kintsugi, and other detailed work. By combining premium **Saikouhou goat hair** with carefully selected **weasel hair**, the brush produces hair-like fine lines while holding enough lacquer or paint for delicate filling work. Unlike traditional Maki-e brushes made with cat hair (Tamage), Roukou offers excellent point retention together with balanced resilience, providing outstanding control for both straight and curved lines. --- ## A Brush Tip Designed for Fine Lines and Paint Capacity The brush tip combines **Saikouhou**, one of the highest grades of goat hair known for its exceptionally fine natural tips and excellent point formation, with resilient weasel hair. The longest fibers ("Ichi-no-ke") of both Saikouhou and weasel hair are aligned to the same length before blending. This construction creates sufficient hair volume while maintaining a sharp point and excellent control. Although Roukou Gokuboso uses the same hair combination and fundamental design as the Roukou Saibyou model, the hair diameter has been increased from **0.7 mm to 1.4 mm**, allowing the brush to hold significantly more lacquer or paint. As a result, the brush is suitable not only for drawing fine lines but also for carefully filling small areas and placing controlled amounts of lacquer. Among the four Fine Detail models, Roukou provides the sharpest tip response and the highest level of control, allowing the artist to guide the brush naturally through both straight and curved lines. It is an excellent choice for artists who require both exceptional precision and the versatility to perform delicate filling work with a single brush. --- ## Two Hair Lengths for Different Applications ### Gokuboso 5 (15 mm Hair Length) Provides excellent tip control for delicate line work, detailed filling, and Kintsugi. ### Gokuboso 7 (21 mm Hair Length) The longer tip offers greater flexibility, making it well suited for continuous lines and gentle curves. --- ## Suitable for Many Types of Fine Detail Work Although developed for Maki-e, this brush is also suitable for: * Ceramic decoration * Kintsugi * Nihonga (Japanese painting) * Watercolor painting * Any application requiring both fine lines and controlled paint application --- # About the Fine Detail Series Every brush in the Fine Detail Series has a **1.4 mm hair diameter**, allowing both delicate line work and controlled paint application. Compared with the Ultra Fine Detail Series (0.7 mm hair diameter), these brushes contain more hair and therefore hold a greater amount of lacquer or paint. While maintaining excellent fine-line performance, they are also well suited for placing lacquer or paint into small areas, making them useful for Maki-e, Nihonga, ceramic decoration, Kintsugi, and many other detailed techniques. Each model uses a different hair combination to create its own balance of: * Tip responsiveness * Resilience * Softness * Flexibility * Line control Choose the model that best matches your preferred painting feel. --- ## Roukou (Weasel Hair / Saikouhou Goat Hair) The sharpest and most responsive model in the series. Outstanding tip control allows effortless handling of both straight and curved lines. **Approximate Finest Line Width:** 0.10–0.20 mm --- ## Shikou (Muskrat Hair / Saikouhou Goat Hair) A firm, resilient model capable of producing crisp, powerful fine lines.

Suitable for both straight and curved lines while offering a gentle painting feel that naturally follows the surface. **Approximate Finest Line Width:** 0.20–0.30 mm --- ## Kouma (Saikouhou Goat Hair / Horse Belly Hair / Nylon) The softest and most flexible model in the series. The brush tip gently spreads as it touches the surface, producing calm, controlled lines. **Approximate Finest Line Width:** 0.25–0.35 mm --- *Line width will vary depending on the lacquer or paint used, viscosity, paint load, brush pressure, and painting surface. The values above indicate approximate minimum line widths under ideal conditions.* --- # Difference from the Ultra Fine Detail Series The **Fine Detail Series** features a **1.4 mm hair diameter**, allowing the brush to hold more lacquer or paint for delicate filling work as well as fine line drawing. The **Ultra Fine Detail Series**, by contrast, uses a **0.7 mm hair diameter** and is specifically designed for producing the finest possible lines. Each Ultra Fine model has a hair length approximately **3 mm longer** than its Fine Detail counterpart. Combined with the smaller hair diameter, this creates an exceptionally delicate brush tip capable of producing even finer, lighter lines. Like the Fine Detail Series, the Ultra Fine Detail Series is available in four different hair combinations. **Approximate Finest Line Widths – Ultra Fine Detail Series** * Roukou: 0.05–0.15 mm * Shikou: 0.10–0.20 mm * Kouyou: 0.15–0.25 mm * Kouma: 0.20–0.30 mm If your highest priority is producing the finest possible lines, choose the **Ultra Fine Detail Series**.

The Shikou Makie-fude gokuboso was developed for artists who require firm brush control for producing crisp, stable fine lines while also handling delicate filling work in Maki-e, ceramic decoration, Kintsugi, and other detailed applications. --- ## A Brush Tip Designed for Fine Lines and Paint Capacity The brush tip combines **Saikouhou**, one of the highest grades of goat hair known for its exceptionally fine natural tips and excellent point formation, with resilient **muskrat hair**. Like weasel hair, muskrat hair provides strong resilience. However, because its tip response is even stronger, using only hairs of the same length would make the brush tip excessively stiff. For this reason, the internal hair lengths and blending ratio are carefully adjusted rather than simply mixing the two materials at equal lengths. Compared with the Ultra Fine Detail Series, the hair diameter has been increased to **1.4 mm**, allowing the brush to hold a greater amount of lacquer or paint. Although Shikou is slightly less suited to expressive curves than Roukou, it excels at producing stable straight lines and bold, controlled fine line work. Because muskrat hair is generally more affordable than weasel hair, Shikou offers an excellent balance between performance and value. --- ## Two Hair Lengths for Different Applications ### Fine Detail 4 (12 mm Hair Length) The shorter tip emphasizes firmness and precise control, making it ideal for detailed filling work, Kintsugi, and placing lacquer or paint exactly where needed. ### Fine Detail 6 (18 mm Hair Length) Offers greater flexibility than Fine Detail 4 while maintaining Shikou's characteristic firmness, making it well suited for stable fine lines and moderately long strokes. --- ## Suitable for Many Types of Fine Detail Work Although developed for Maki-e, this brush is also suitable for: * Ceramic decoration * Kintsugi * Nihonga (Japanese painting) * Watercolor painting * Any application requiring fine lines together with controlled paint application --- # About the Fine Detail Series Every brush in the Fine Detail Series has a **1.4 mm hair diameter**, allowing both delicate line work and controlled paint application.

Because muskrat hair is generally more affordable than weasel hair, Shikou offers an excellent balance between performance and value. --- ## Two Hair Lengths for Different Applications ### Fine Detail 4 (12 mm Hair Length) The shorter tip emphasizes firmness and precise control, making it ideal for detailed filling work, Kintsugi, and placing lacquer or paint exactly where needed. ### Fine Detail 6 (18 mm Hair Length) Offers greater flexibility than Fine Detail 4 while maintaining Shikou's characteristic firmness, making it well suited for stable fine lines and moderately long strokes. --- ## Suitable for Many Types of Fine Detail Work Although developed for Maki-e, this brush is also suitable for: * Ceramic decoration * Kintsugi * Nihonga (Japanese painting) * Watercolor painting * Any application requiring fine lines together with controlled paint application --- # About the Fine Detail Series Every brush in the Fine Detail Series has a **1.4 mm hair diameter**, allowing both delicate line work and controlled paint application. Compared with the Ultra Fine Detail Series (0.7 mm hair diameter), these brushes contain more hair and therefore hold a greater amount of lacquer or paint. While maintaining excellent fine-line performance, they are also well suited for placing lacquer or paint into small areas, making them useful for Maki-e, Nihonga, ceramic decoration, Kintsugi, and many other detailed techniques. Each model uses a different hair combination to create its own balance of: * Tip responsiveness * Resilience * Softness * Flexibility * Line control Choose the model that best matches your preferred painting feel. --- ## Roukou (Weasel Hair / Saikouhou Goat Hair) The sharpest and most responsive model in the series. Outstanding tip control allows effortless handling of both straight and curved lines. **Approximate Finest Line Width:** 0.10–0.20 mm --- ## Shikou (Muskrat Hair / Saikouhou Goat Hair) A firm, resilient model capable of producing crisp, powerful fine lines. While slightly less suited to expressive curves than Roukou, it excels at stable straight-line work. **Approximate Finest Line Width:** 0.15–0.25 mm --- ## Kouyou (Saikouhou Goat Hair / Nylon) A softer model with increased flexibility. Suitable for both straight and curved lines while offering a gentle painting feel that naturally follows the surface. **Approximate Finest Line Width:** 0.20–0.30 mm --- ## Kouma (Saikouhou Goat Hair / Horse Belly Hair / Nylon) The softest and most flexible model in the series. The brush tip gently spreads as it touches the surface, producing calm, controlled lines. **Approximate Finest Line Width:** 0.25–0.35 mm --- *Line width will vary depending on the lacquer or paint used, viscosity, paint load, brush pressure, and painting surface. The values above indicate approximate minimum line widths under ideal conditions.* --- # Difference from the Ultra Fine Detail Series The **Fine Detail Series** features a **1.4 mm hair diameter**, allowing the brush to hold more lacquer or paint for delicate filling work as well as fine line drawing. The **Ultra Fine Detail Series**, by contrast, uses a **0.7 mm hair diameter** and is specifically designed for producing the finest possible lines. Each Ultra Fine model has a hair length approximately **3 mm longer** than its Fine Detail counterpart. Combined with the smaller hair diameter, this creates an exceptionally delicate brush tip capable of producing even finer, lighter lines. Like the Fine Detail Series, the Ultra Fine Detail Series is available in four different hair combinations. **Approximate Finest Line Widths – Ultra Fine Detail Series** * Roukou: 0.05–0.15 mm * Shikou: 0.10–0.20 mm * Kouyou: 0.15–0.25 mm * Kouma: 0.20–0.30 mm If your highest priority is producing the finest possible lines, choose the **Ultra Fine Detail Series**. If you also require greater paint capacity for filling work and Kintsugi, the **Fine Detail Series** is the better choice. --- **View the full Maki-e Brush collection:** https://en.sgd-fude.shop/categories/4813506 **View the full Menso Brush collection:** https://en.sgd-fude.shop/categories/4813315

The Kouyou Makie-fude gokuboso was developed for artists who prefer a softer brush tip capable of producing delicate line work together with smooth, controlled paint application in Maki-e, ceramic decoration, Kintsugi, and other detailed work. --- ## A Brush Tip Designed for Fine Lines and Paint Capacity The brush tip combines **Saikouhou**, one of the highest grades of goat hair known for its exceptionally fine natural tips and excellent point formation, with flexible nylon fibers. By replacing the weasel hair used in the Roukou model with nylon, Kouyou offers a more affordable alternative while preserving the exceptionally delicate brush tip made possible by Saikouhou. Because nylon holds less lacquer or paint than natural hair, its proportion has been carefully limited, allowing Saikouhou goat hair to remain the primary material. Compared with Roukou, Kouyou has gentler resilience and spring. When the brush touches the surface, the tip follows naturally with a subtle, slightly adhesive feel. In the Fine Detail Series, the hair diameter has been increased to **1.4 mm**, providing greater paint capacity than the Ultra Fine Detail Series while maintaining excellent control for delicate line work and detailed filling. Although the lines are slightly broader than those produced by Roukou, the brush produces calm, controlled strokes without the tip reacting too sharply. Kouyou is an excellent choice for artists who prefer a brush that settles naturally onto the surface when placing lacquer during Maki-e work. --- ## Two Hair Lengths for Different Applications ### Fine Detail 5 (15 mm Hair Length) Provides excellent control for soft line work while also being well suited for detailed filling and Kintsugi. ### Fine Detail 7 (21 mm Hair Length) The longer tip takes full advantage of Kouyou's softness and flexibility, making it ideal for long lines and gentle flowing curves. --- ## Suitable for Many Types of Fine Detail Work Although developed for Maki-e, this brush is also suitable for: * Ceramic decoration * Kintsugi * Nihonga (Japanese painting) * Watercolor painting * Any application requiring fine lines together with controlled paint application --- # About the Fine Detail Series Every brush in the Fine Detail Series has a **1.4 mm hair diameter**, allowing both delicate line work and controlled paint application.

Compared with ordinary horse body hair, horse belly hair is softer and more flexible. When the brush touches the surface, the tip gently spreads, creating a smooth and controlled painting feel. By incorporating horse belly hair, Kouma provides even greater flexibility and adhesion than Kouyou. As the brush tip settles onto the surface, it naturally opens slightly, allowing soft, calm, and highly controlled lines to be drawn. Compared with the Ultra Fine Detail Series, the hair diameter has been increased to **1.4 mm**, providing greater paint capacity while maintaining excellent control for delicate line work and detailed filling. Although the resulting lines are slightly broader than those produced by Kouyou, the brush offers a unique feeling of the tip gently following the surface, making it well suited for carefully placing lacquer or paint with a controlled touch. Kouma is recommended for artists who value softness and flexibility over strong resilience and sharp spring. --- ## Two Hair Lengths for Different Applications ### Fine Detail 4 (12 mm Hair Length) The shorter tip provides greater control, making it ideal for delicate filling work, Kintsugi, and gently placing lacquer or paint exactly where needed. ### Fine Detail 6 (18 mm Hair Length) Offers greater flexibility than Fine Detail 4, making full use of Kouma's soft, adhesive brush response for long, gentle lines and flowing curves. --- ## Suitable for Many Types of Fine Detail Work Although developed for Maki-e, this brush is also suitable for: * Ceramic decoration * Kintsugi * Nihonga (Japanese painting) * Watercolor painting * Any application requiring fine lines together with controlled paint application --- # About the Fine Detail Series Every brush in the Fine Detail Series has a **1.4 mm hair diameter**, allowing both delicate line work and controlled paint application.

Versatile Line Brush for Animation Backgrounds – “Kozue” (Saku-yo Fude) A beginner-friendly brush with excellent control and balance This brush is designed to be easy to use even for beginners, with excellent spring and cohesion at the tip, allowing for a full range of strokes—from fine lines to broad fills. The “Animation Brush – Kozue (Saku-yo)” is carefully crafted to have a slightly finer tip than the “Tokusen Animation Brush – Saku-yo”, but slightly thicker than the “Tokusei Animation Brush – En.” With a longer-than-average tip, it is easier to shape and control, making it suitable for both experienced artists and those just starting out in animation background art. ■ Product Description In professional animation background studios, artists often need to complete many paintings in a day. To save time and reduce the number of brushes needed, they often rely on versatile saku-yo brushes (a type of line brush) capable of performing multiple tasks. In response to such needs, we developed the “Tokusen Animation Brush – Saku-yo” in the early 2000s at the request of a major animation studio. At the time, durability was one of the studio’s primary concerns. Traditional saku-yo brushes would wear down in just one to two weeks under heavy daily use. They asked us to create a brush that could last over a month. After repeated improvements, we produced a brush that used a significantly higher amount of weasel hair than standard brushes—enhancing both performance and longevity. The “Animation Brush – Saku-yo Kozue” offers a more cost-effective solution while still ensuring high durability. While it does use weasel hair, we did not simply increase the weasel content to achieve durability. Instead, we blended in other selected hairs to strike the right balance. This brush is ideal for those beginning their journey into background painting, as well as professionals working in high-output studios. With this one brush, you can handle both line work and painting, and thanks to its longer tip and higher hair volume, it's easier to shape the tip into various forms—especially useful for those new to shaping brush heads. ■ For Hobbyists and Light Use If you're painting at your own pace or pursuing background art as a hobby, a standard saku-yo brush may be sufficient. We currently offer six types of saku-yo brushes, two of which—“Saku-yo Brush – Kanade” and “Tokusei Saku-yo Brush”—are available in our online shop. While these may not match the durability or versatility of the “Tokusen Animation Brush – Saku-yo” (due to differences in tip volume and shaping range), hobbyists or light users can easily compensate by selecting the right brush for what they want to paint. Notably, even professional background artists use the “Tokusei Saku-yo Brush” in production. All of our animation brushes and tools are tested using New TMK Poster Extra Thick paper (Muse) and poster colors (Nicker), both widely used in the animation industry. Our brushes are handcrafted in Kumano, Hiroshima, a town known as Japan’s center of traditional brush-making. Each brush is made with care by artisans who carry forward generations of skill and respect for Japan’s cultural heritage.

Created in response to a request from a professional creator. The brush does not directly apply the paint, but can lightly stroke the painted area with the tip of the brush to blur the border between the colours. It is useful for creating gradations as it can blur even the smallest details. Our company repeated the test many times and created this "Specially Selected Flat Brush for Animation - Tan　No. 8". This product is a luxurious gem, infused with meticulous manual craftsmanship. It is recommended for professional creators in painting and animation production, as well as hobbyists and students who draw animation backgrounds. Main raw material:goat hair Full length：265mm Brush head Width：21mm Brush head length：26mm Product Details：Designed for writing animated backgrounds.

Many artists told us how difficult it is to control brush tips to create the irregular, scattered strokes needed for painting grass. That’s why we set out to design a brush that makes this easier—while also being suitable for blending and gradients, much like a Kara brush. The result is the Animation Flat Brush – Tomorrow’s Grassland. With its wide brush head, it is ideal for quickly painting large areas of grass. At the same time, its shape makes it useful for blending smaller sections and creating smooth transitions. The tip is designed to naturally form jagged edges, helping to create organic grass strokes with ease. Its 30mm-long hair allows the brush to spread open, enabling artists to vary their brush patterns depending on how it is manipulated—offering great flexibility and control. Besides grass painting and spot blending, this brush can also be used to create soft, cloudy textures or subtle atmospheric effects. We designed this tool with the hope that it would bring more enjoyment to background artists—making the process of painting scenery even more rewarding. All of our animation brushes are tested using materials widely adopted in the animation industry, including New TMK Poster Extra Thick paper (by Muse) and poster colors (by Nicker). Each brush is handcrafted in Kumano, Hiroshima, a town celebrated as Japan’s brush-making capital. Our artisans continue to uphold time-honored techniques, crafting each brush with care and respect for Japan’s artistic heritage.

At the same time, we aimed to make it suitable for spot blending and gradient work, similar to how a Kara brush is used. This brush was carefully designed so that the tip naturally forms jagged edges, making it easier to express grass textures. Its long 30mm hair length allows the brush tip to spread wide, enabling a variety of grass patterns depending on how it's opened and used. Beyond painting grass and spot blending, this brush is also excellent for creating soft, cloudy effects and other atmospheric touches. We hope this brush will make background painting in animation not only easier—but more enjoyable.

Usage：Animation Background Art,Design,Watercolor Painting,Text depiction Main raw material： Full length：237mm Brush head Width：4mm Brush head length：18mm Product Details：Designed for writing animated backgrounds Flat Brush Specially Designed for Painting Windows in Animation Backgrounds We developed this window-painting-specific brush in response to a request from an art director who wanted a brush that would be easier for beginners to use. In traditional animation background painting, shaping the brush tip precisely to match what you want to paint—especially windows—requires skill and experience. This brush was designed to simplify that process. One of its key features is that it allows the artist to freely adjust the tip width between approximately 1mm and 5mm, all with a single brush. What’s more, once shaped, the tip holds its width stably during use, so the line thickness doesn’t unintentionally change while painting. The brush has an unusually long hair length for a fine brush—18mm—which allows it to hold a generous amount of paint. As a result, it reduces the risk of running out of pigment midway when painting wide window frames or long lines. Despite being a Size 2 brush, it holds a significant volume of paint, making it suitable even for detailed filling and precision work. We recommend trying it before window painting becomes your least favorite task! All of our brushes and tools for animation are developed and tested using materials commonly used in professional background art production, including New TMK Poster Extra Thick paper (Muse) and poster colors (Nicker). These brushes are handcrafted in Kumano, Hiroshima, a town renowned as the heart of Japanese brush-making. Each brush is carefully made by our artisans, preserving traditional techniques while honoring the cultural legacy of Japanese craftsmanship.

Main material: deer hair Total length: 295mm Brush head width: 30mm Brush head length: 24mm Description: Used for blurring large surfaces such as backgrounds in animation background art, Japanese and ink paintings. This Kara brush is designed specifically for hand-painted animation backgrounds. It is used after applying color to water-stretched paper, for purposes such as blending colors, smoothing uneven paint application, and softening the edges of gradients. The brush uses deer hair, and the moderate spacing between the hairs at the tip makes it especially suitable for producing visible brush textures when blending. Unlike traditional Japanese Kara brushes, which typically use very stiff deer hair all the way to the tip, this brush is made with slightly softer and smoother deer hair at the tip. This ensures it glides gently over the paper surface without catching or damaging delicate textures. Deer hair is characterized by thick strands that taper to fine tips, naturally creating gaps between the hairs. This structure makes it easy to leave intentional brush marks. As you use the brush, the tip may gradually become damp. However, with this Kara brush, simply rubbing the tip lightly with a towel will dry it quickly. It's highly recommended for background artists in animation who seek both expressive control and efficient workflow, such as when depicting metallic textures or surface finishes. Of course, it can also be used in Nihonga (traditional Japanese painting). Compared to harder-tipped deer hair Kara brushes, this one leaves softer brush marks, making it ideal for use on delicate or coarse-textured washi paper where you want to avoid damaging the fibers. Please note: this brush is used dry, without absorbing water. (Caution: do not soak the brush in water.) Because deer hair is hollow at the center, soaking or leaving it wet can cause moisture to enter and lead to root rot. If dark pigments remain on the tip, you may briefly dip only the tip into water to rinse it. Afterward, rub it with a towel and it will dry quickly. All of our brushes and tools for animation are tested using “New TMK Poster Extra Thick” paper by Muse and poster colors by Nicker—both commonly used in animation background art. Our products are handcrafted by skilled artisans in Kumano, Hiroshima, a town renowned as the heart of traditional Japanese brush-making.

Usage:Okonomiyaki sauce application, cooking sauce coating Main raw material:Goat hair, Japanese cypress Other materials:Food Sanitation Law-compliant special adhesive and silicone rubber Full length:312mm Brush head width:90mm（3寸） Brush head length:38mm Brush head thickness:4.5mm(root) Product Details:This brush is specially designed for applying sauce to okonomiyaki. The bristles are made of goat hair, which is a little stiffer than other types of goat hair and can hold the sauce well, allowing the sticky sauce to be applied firmly to the okonomiyaki. The side of the handle of our brushes has a gap (right brush in the fourth photo), but this gap is completely filled with silicon rubber (left brush in the fifth photo), which conforms to the Food Sanitation Law, so that no sauce can get into the gap, and there is no cavity in the handle. Therefore, even if the brush is plunged into the sauce, the sauce will not get into the handle, which is an excellent feature in terms of hygiene. In addition, in order to remove odors peculiar to animal hair, such as goat hair, the bristles are thoroughly cleaned with a food-safe cleaning solution after being boiled to remove odors. https://en.sgd-fude.net/product/hake/okonomiyakibake/
