calligraphy brush

Asian writing tool

A calligraphy brush is a brush designed for writing or painting East Asian characters, with a tapered tip of animal hair set in a bamboo or wooden handle.

Unlike Western brushes, the soft, pointed tip allows for the fluid, variable strokes essential to Chinese, Japanese, and Korean calligraphy: She loaded her calligraphy brush with ink and began the first stroke.
