Yasutomo CC Series Bamboo Sumi Brush

The Yasutomo CC Series Bamboo Sumi Brush is a versatile traditional-style brush designed for sumi-e painting, calligraphy, watercolor, and expressive ink techniques. Constructed with a carefully balanced blend of natural and synthetic bristles, this brush combines excellent water retention with responsive control and dynamic stroke variation.

The brush core is formed from relatively stiff bristles and natural hair shaped into a tapered point, allowing for crisp detail and controlled line work. Softer outer hairs surround the core to maximize water holding capacity and create fluid, graceful strokes.

This layered hair structure allows the brush to respond beautifully to changes in pressure, producing both delicate lines and bold expressive marks with ease. The bamboo handle includes a hanging loop for convenient storage and a traditional studio aesthetic.

Ideal for artists exploring East Asian brush techniques as well as watercolorists and illustrators seeking expressive mark-making tools.
