Bunshindo brush making experience

Kawajiri brushes, a traditional craft item, are made in Kawajiri-cho, Kure City. Founded in 1930, the company has raw materials that have been aged for over 50 years. The company utilizes all brush-making techniques and continues to produce the entire product from start to finish by a single craftsman without using machines. This makes the product seem inefficient and unsuitable for mass production, but it maintains a high level of quality that fully meets the precise requirements of calligraphers and Japanese painters, and is loved by many experts. Under the guidance of a young traditional craftsman, you can experience the core of brush making in a workshop where real brushes are made, learning what tools are used and what processes are involved in making brushes, the difference in the finish between old and new raw materials, and the difference depending on the type of raw material.
