Among the various calligraphic tools, the calligraphy brush is special to China. It represents one of the four treasures of study, which also include paper, ink and ink stone.
A calligraphy brush comprises of two parts - the head or brush tip and shaft. The head is made of goat, wolf, rat or rabbit hair, which is softer than bamboo, a pencil, quill or ballpoint pen. The shaft is made of bamboo, wood, lacquer or porcelain, as well as some precious materials, including mother-of-pearl inlays, ivory and jade.
The workmanship of the brush is exquisite and complicated since it takes more than 120 processes to complete.
