Re: ONCE AGAIN: RICHESON MAGIC BRUSH

[Tsuyoshi Ito <tito@projectbasho.org>]

Hi everyone,

Speaking of magic brushes, I am about to take orders for magic brushes  
made in Japan. The pricing and other details will follow. Contact me  
off the list if you are interested. I will go back to Japan in  
December to order directly.

This brush is hand-made one by one by a brush maker in Tokyo. This  
came about when I brought some Richeson brushes to a friend in Japan.  
My friend brought them to a rush artisan to take them apart and change  
the handle to wood so there will be not rust issue. Then he later  
discovered that he had very similar bristle in stock and came up with  
the brush. Here is a picture of mine:

Since it is produced as made-to-order, we can make it as wide as you  
want (with a practical limit..). It is a bit pricy and it is about the  
price of two Richeson brushes (with a fluctuation of exchange rate).  
But if you will have to replace once or twice, then this will make a  
sense.

Please feel free to contact me with questions.

Warmly,
Tsuyoshi
