Uses and History of the Brand:
- Tradition and Heritage – This brush is part of the world-renowned Tiger Brand line, associated with the historic Chinese calligraphy brush-making center of Huzhou. The green-and-red sticker featuring a leaping tiger is a globally recognized symbol of an authentic product.
- Traditional Eastern calligraphy —suitable for writing Chinese characters and calligraphy exercises that require control over stroke width.
- Sumi-e and Guohua painting —a classic choice for depicting botanical motifs (bamboo, orchids, flowering branches), landscapes, and smooth gradients.
- Watercolor and botanical illustration —thanks to its water-holding bristles and sharp tip, this brush is also sought after by watercolorists for soft washes, tonal transitions, and detailed accents.
Operation and Maintenance:
- Initial preparation (activation) – the new brush is coated with a plant-based adhesive. Before first use, dip the brush in lukewarm water and gently work it with your fingers until it softens completely and the protective coating is washed away.
- Line control —hold the brush vertically to the paper. Varying the pressure creates a smooth transition from fine details to broad, ink-rich lines.
- Cleaning and Storage – Rinse thoroughly under running water immediately after use, without using harsh soaps. Hang it to dry with the tip pointing down (hanging by the loop) to prevent water from seeping into the bamboo handle.
