Product Description

This Writing set contains everything you need to do Calligraphy or Sumi-e Ink Painting: 5 quality brushes and brush rest; soapstone seal; ink & pots and ink mixing stone. Zen calligraphy is practiced by Buddhist monks and most Shodo (way of the brush) practitioners. To write Zen calligraphy with mastery, one must clear one's mind and let the letters flow out of themselves. The calligrapher must concentrate and be fluid in execution as the brush writes a statement about the calligrapher at that particular moment in time One of the most common subjects of Japanese calligraphy is the Enso, or 'Circle of Enlightenment'. Each brush is approx. 12cm in length The case measures 21cm x 15cm x 4cm

Beautiful!

Comes in a great box with 5 quaint brushes, red ink, brush holder, solid ink,?, ready to carve stamp, mixing plate and a little bowl. In lined with a red felt and a green material thing?

I've just started learning calligraphy (i'm learning japanese so my teacher can teach me some kanji that means things like peace e.t.c.) so its a good place to start. I also brough rice paper from Zen minded and was pleased with the delivery of both products. In the package was a thank you post card and a little poem by Han-shan.

Nice starter kit... 8 Dec 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
I got this for my friend for her birthday and she seemed pleased...It is a nice compact starter set and didn't have too high an expectation on quality. It's got some lovely elements with only a hint of cheapness i.e the toggles and the plastic spoon, which I removed as it just didn't do it any favours. Apart from that a good all round set.
