Michihamono Sosaku Brush 60mm
A must-have for waterbased woodblock printing. This 60mm brush is perfect for spreading ink (watercolor or gouache paint) and nori glue paste.
Wood handle and horse hair brush.
How to Care for it:
Wash with soap and water on your palm and rinse thoroughly. Shake water off and pat on towel to get as much moisture out as possible. Let dry by standing on its hairs. Never keep it with the wood side down, as the moisture will cause the wood to expand and crack.
I recommend having one for black ink, one for yellows, one for reds, and one for blues, as pigment will never fully wash out.
To those who are looking for Woodblock Printmaking Instructions, I highly recommend Making Japanese Woodblock Prints by Laura Boswell ( ISBN-13 : 978-1785006555) It is a lightweight, A5 size paperback with lots of pictures and easy to follow.
