Requiring High TechniqueKawajiri town of Hiroshima. If you are a calligrapher, you most likely are familiar with the name. This is a location renowned for high-quality brushes or ”fude” used for calligraphy. |
The Order-made Fude for the CalligraphersCalligraphers place orders attaching their works with detailed explanation and their images of the desired types of strokes they wish to write. Yoshiyuki Hata replies to these detailed demands with his creation. Since he fulfills each calligrapher’s requests, the ”fude” are all different in material, size, length, and softness. |
”To Convey the Splendor of Brushes”When he first started, it was difficult to respond to somewhat abstract demands, and there were several occasion where he had to remake them. However, now that he has accumulated knowhow and experience, he is now able to impress the calligraphers with his creation. Kawajiri Fude craftsmen were the very first to be designated National Craftsmen. |
