DEAR
TSUYOSHI,
The
brush at the website looks very much like the classic Japanese Hake
brush.
The
important issue is whether the bristles are the same synthetic, non-absorbing,
material as the Richeson Magic Brush. The non-absorbing property is one
of the most important aspects of the Magic Brush.
I
like the idea of a 6 inch wide brush. Can you tell me how much that would
cost?
CHEERS!
BOB

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
