As its “brother”, Tanguns Bear the Shui Niu brush is a beautiful specimen of our newly added extra long brushes which we added to serve artists that need hand made brushes to create artworks on very larges areas or canvases.

Normally brushes which are found in this size are industrial brushes which do not have the characteristics in terms of ink storage and variety in tip resilience a hand made Chinese brush offers. We have all our brushes hand made in several small manufacturers where brush making artisans keep a century old tradition alive and still provide us with the fines brushes that can be found anywhere – even today.

The Shui Niu got its name due to the fact that is exquisite handle is made of premium water buffalo horn which is hand carved and then carefully placed around a shaft of Chinese redwood. The tip is made up of carefully selected white goat hair with very long bristles allowing for unparalleled effects in your artwork.
