Any true lover of traditional Japanese / Chinese painting would really enjoy this new line of brush pens from Kuretake.

These quality brush pens distinguish themselves by their ink fragrance. Borneol, Kyara, and Musk are traditional scent additives into sumi-e ink sticks. The smell of ink aids the meditative process of the sumi-e painting as painters grinds the ink sticks against inkstones to make ink.

Now, modern brush pen users can get a taste of the ancient art through these scented Kuretake brush pens. The brush tip comes in medium and fine (for sutra/scripture writing) and is made of man-made hair.




Model Number: KURETAKE DJ160-90S

I received this today, and it's a good pen, but not what I expected. I ordered it together with the Borneol Fragrant Brush Pen, and this pen is not any finer---they're shaped exactly the same. The barrel of the Sutra Writing pen is a different color (a handsome brown with glitter), and it has NO SCENT. Otherwise the two seem to be just alike. Their brush-tips are the same size (finer than the Kuretake #30 I also got), both write very well, with the spring and dramatic very-fine-to-very-broad responsiveness I love in hair-brush pens, and both are waterproof---after their ink had dried for just a few minutes, a thirty-second soak didn't budge it at all. My first impression is that it's a great pen---I would recommend hair brush pens to anyone, artists especially, and this is a good example of the breed for a very reasonable price---just don't buy it expecting it to have a scent or be finer than the fragrant pens.
