In addition to the Bill Buchman Zen Series of large Sumi Brushes and the Zen "Classic" series of standard and fine sizes, Sumi Brushes is proud to offer a new slender Sumi brush series, the "Sensei", in 3 smaller sizes for master calligraphers and painters and those who want the finest control and expressiveness for detailed work. The Sensei 2 is made with a combination of sable and goat to produce a Sumi brush of unparalleled sensitivity that is extra fine in both size and quality. Every Sumi practitioner will benefit from its qualities, as it offers an exceptional degree of delicacy and control. With its especially responsive point this "Sensei" brush is eminently suitable for the Sumi painter, skilled calligrapher, or water media artist who requires a highly expressive and accurate brush for their fine oriental lettering, detailed Sumi paintings and watercolors. If this describes you, this brush is going to be one of your favorite brushes. Hand-made by Japanese master craftsmen, this super high quality artist's brush represents a peak of Sumi brush craftsmanship and is made of carefully chosen sable woven into a handsome and durable lacquered wooden handle. It can be safely said that a Sumi brush of this uniquely fine quality has been unavailable in the US until now. Brush dimensions: Total Length: 8 & 1/8"; Shaft: 7 & 3/16"; Head: 1"; Head Diameter: 3/16"; no end loop. All who explore the wonderful world of the Sumi brush will find that it naturally promotes an artistic mood of tranquility and creativity.
