Description of Chinese Calligraphy Brush Sumi Writing/Painting Set (12 Pieces)

Made of better materials. This Chinese Calligraphy Sumi Brush Writing/Painting Set is very suitable and practical for Beginners and Lovers. Two Writing Modes Design: chinese water writing mode and chinese ink writing mode. Chinese Water Writing Mode: This Chinese calligraphy set comes with one water writing cloth. Water Writing Cloth is the latest economic and practical product. You only need to write in water on it and you will see the same effect just like writing on Chinese calligraphy paper. After several minutes, it will quickly recover like original one. This mode is very practical for chinese calligraphy beginners. Chinese Ink Writing Mode: If you are experienced or you become an old hand at Chinese Calligraphy Writing, then it is time to go from water writing mode to ink writing mode. It's better to use Chinese calligraphy paper instead of water writing cloth when you write in ink. When grinding ink, just use the spoon to get the right amount of water out of the porcelain bowl to put on the ink stone. It is also nice to write Japanese and Kanji. FULL SET INCLUDED 12 ITEMS-- FOUR CHINESE CALLIGRAPHY BRUSHES, ONE CHINESE INK STONE, ONE CHINESE SEAL, ONE CINNABAR INKPAD, ONE CHINESE INK STICK, ONE CHINESE BRUSH REST, ONE PORCELAIN BOWL, ONE SMALL SPOON AND ONE WATER WRITING CLOTH.

Beautiful set of Chinese brushes and accessories.

This is a beautiful set of Chinese writing utensils. I like to do Chinese brush painting and am always looking for new brushes to try out. My only disappointment was the practice sheet--it is in Chinese so I can't tell what the letters that to be practiced are. I didn't want to mess up the soapstone trying to carve my name in Chinese, but I had a tiny cherry blossom stamp from another set of Oriental rubber stamps so I glued it to the end of the soapstone and it will make a fine author stamp. I

Pros
  • Nice kit
Cons
  • poor quality

Cheap terrible quality

It came broken and apparently glued back together, the stone clearly has been glued back together after breaking, and the brush holder was broken too. It all feelsreally cheap and flimsy. The grinding stone is an unusual and akward shape.The hairs fall off the brushes on the first use.

Pros
  • It was so much better than I had expected! It so beautiful and I absolutely love it!
Cons
  • May be difficult for beginners to use properly

Broken, but seems nice!

The packaging and bot itself are all great, but unfortunately, one of my four brushes came snapped in half. The "Cherished Customer" card included details on how to contact if need be and the email included on the card is giving me delivery incomplete messages, lol. I visited their website and submitted a 'contact us' about the brush, so we will see if they respond and replace it.I haven't used anything in the set yet. I'm new to this, so I'm not sure how it will go!

Pros
  • 2.35 pounds
Cons
  • Brushes may require a break-in period to achieve optimal performance

No Instructions / Poor Quality Ink?

Would be great if it included instructions. The ink stone does not grind the ink stick well at all. I'm not getting much ink from it but I'm not sure if it's the stone thats too smooth or the ink just not made well.

Pros
  • very nice set nicely presented and shipped fast
Cons
  • Uses a lot of ink or paint, therefore may get messy

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Quite complete set for my opinion

Used for a class and was very nice. Instructor seemed impressed with the set. They included a free felt mat that would need ironing before use but like brushes and plenty to use for future practice.

Pros
  • No
Cons
  • Not suitable for use with certain types of paint

Undamaged and exactly as pictured

There were other reviews saying it came damaged, but it came intact and with an extra added protection of a pre-shrunk plastic casing. It was easy to open however and having the special kind of hook clasp gave it a little extra flair despite it being a really cheap set. The stamping ink also wasn't dry and stayed surprisingly moist, but I'm still going to make sure it is closed at all times when not in use.Honest, just really glad it came completely intact and whole.

Pros
  • awesome better than what i expected
Cons
  • Case may not be durable and can easily break or tear

The product is good but the shipment is bad. One of the four pens is broken when I opened the box. But I really love this product. I hope the sellers can prepare your project shipment well!

Pros
  • Great set to get you started, nothing broken when recieved.
Cons
  • My item came broken and scratched. Very upset

Nice from a beginner's perspective.

Nice set, but I am a beginner. Having said that, the brushes are very nice, the practice sheet is super helpful and it's a fun beautiful set to use for this price range.

Pros
  • Calligraphy & Sumi Brushes
Cons
  • Ink/paint may stain clothing or surfaces

Very Cool Set! in my review

Very neat set, although my husband said that the inside paper had yellowed and looked like the set was old and had been on the shelf forever. But, there's really nothing to spoil, so all's good! I would have given it 5 stars if not for the oldness factor because the set is very cool! One really great thing is the pad to practice lettering with water.

Pros
  • FULL SET INCLUDED 12 ITEMS-- FOUR CHINESE CALLIGRAPHY BRUSHES, ONE CHINESE INK STONE, ONE CHINESE SEAL, ONE CINNABAR INKPAD, ONE CHINESE INK STICK, ONE CHINESE BRUSH REST, ONE PORCELAIN BOWL, ONE SMALL SPOON AND ONE WATER WRITING CLOTH
Cons
  • May not be suitable for outdoors use

Very Pleased in my review

What can I say about this product. It really is nice. All of the "ingredients" seem to be very good quality. Would certainly purchase again.

Pros

Cons
  • Brushes and case may easily accumulate dust and dirt

The boxing was good, and when you open up the package you .

When this came in and I saw it, I was extremely excited. The boxing was good, and when you open up the package you find this gold box that has dragons and flowers. Everything inside is of good quality for what it is. ( basically something to piddle around with to get the idea of what you're doing) and it's all great.

Pros
  • Arts, Crafts & Sewing
Cons
  • Set may not include a variety of brush sizes

The brushes are low quality and loose easily hair. Not sure if the ink stick is of low quality. The ink stone is ok. The soap stone has to be carved by your self to be used as a stamp, but it was fun to do it. I like the box and the porcelain pices, also the are pretty smal. To get deeper into sumi e ore caliggraphy you will whant to buy better brushes. So summing it up it's a starte kit.

Pros
  • Chinese Ink Writing Mode: If you are experienced or you become an old hand at Chinese Calligraphy Writing, then it is time to go from water writing mode to ink writing mode. It's better to use Chinese calligraphy paper instead of water writing cloth when you write in ink. When grinding ink, just use the spoon to get the right amount of water out of the porcelain bowl to put on the ink stone. It is also nice to write Japanese and Kanji
Cons
  • Ink or paint may have a strong odor

After seeing the reviews I ordered this item and I am horribly disappointed. One of the brushes arrive broken and EVERY one of them shed. The rest of the set is ok, but this set is not much good if you have to immediately buy new brushes. Would not buy again!

Pros
  • very nice kit, will buy another some day
Cons
  • May not be suitable for large-scale art projects
