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.

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.

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.

**Applications:** Maki-e, Kintsugi **Hair Material:** Weasel Hair / Saikouhou Goat Hair **Overall Length:** 224 mm **Hair Length:** 21 mm (Fine Detail 7) **Hair Diameter:** 1.4 mm **Specification:** Not a Sazu-style brush ### Available Sizes **Roukou Makie-fude gokuboso 5** Hair Diameter: 1.4 mm Hair Length: 15 mm (5 bu) **Roukou Makie-fude gokuboso 7** Hair Diameter: 1.4 mm Hair Length: 21 mm (7 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 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. 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

**Applications:** Maki-e, Kintsugi **Hair Material:** Weasel Hair / Saikouhou Goat Hair **Overall Length:** 218 mm **Hair Length:** 15 mm (Fine Detail 5) **Hair Diameter:** 1.4 mm **Specification:** Not a Sazu-style brush ### Available Sizes **Roukou Makie-fude gokuboso 5** Hair Diameter: 1.4 mm Hair Length: 15 mm (5 bu) **Roukou Makie-fude gokuboso 7** Hair Diameter: 1.4 mm Hair Length: 21 mm (7 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 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.

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.

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. 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 Kouma Makie-fude gokuboso was developed for artists who prefer a soft, flexible brush tip capable of producing gentle lines 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 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.
