## 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.
