Akashiya Japanese Design Brush Basic Set 3Pc

Step into over 300 years of tradition with the Akashiya Japanese Design Brush Basic Set—a collection of tools crafted in Nara, Japan, where brushmaking has been perfected since 1716. This versatile 3-piece set includes both large and small “coloured brushes” that hold pigment beautifully for smooth, bold strokes, as well as a fine “face brush” ideal for delicate lines, intricate details, and precise coloring. Whether you’re painting with Gansai (Japanese watercolors) or exploring the expressive world of Sumi-e ink painting, these brushes are designed to bring out the best in your art.

With white and brown hairs of moderate firmness, the tips strike a perfect balance—supple enough for fluid strokes, yet firm enough for control and precision. Each brush measures 210–215mm (8.25–8.5"), making them comfortable to handle for both beginners and experienced artists. Timeless craftsmanship, reliable performance, and elegant design—this set is a testament to Akashiya’s centuries of expertise. Please note: for best results, use separate brushes for ink and watercolor to preserve their quality.

Bring tradition, precision, and artistry to your studio.
