Time Brush
This is a very unusual brush. It's called a Time Brush.
The owner of the Chinese store writes about this brush:
I met this brush totally by accident when I was wandering in
the market as I always do. Mr. Xu was putting together the brush handle and
the brush tip. And, I knew it is an excellent choice for the shop when I notice
the proud in his eyes. The brush handle is quite unique and every brush is the
only one in the world because the shape varies for every one. Made of a special
tree, the handle can only be found once or twice in every five years. After
careful processing, the craftsman turned them into nice brushes for calligraphy
and painting. The knots in the handle are called "tumor" and they
have witnessed the passage of a long history. Therefore, the brush is named as
"Time". It is used for painting and calligraphy.
I purchased this brush from https://chineseart.store/
I am a Chinese Brush Painter. I use Chinese and Japanese brushes for my ink paintings. I also am a brush collector. I have hundreds of beautiful brushes and some are very rare. I knew this brush would be a wonderful addition to my collection.
The length of the handle varies from 50-60cm
(20-24inch) and that of the hair is 9cm (3.5inch). The hair of this brush is goat. The tip (hair) of the brush can be replaced after extended usage. In this way, one can always have a new brush on hand. I am in love with this new Time Brush.
Studio Photo of Some Brushes
This is a photograph of only a very small portion of the brushes in my collection. Maybe it's 1/4 of the brushes that I have on hand to play with when I paint.
