[Kuretake Japan] Bimoji Hard-Tip Brush Pen - Ukiyo-e Limited Edition (Medium Tip) - Red Fuji

Ukiyo-e, meaning "pictures of the floating world," emerged in the late 17th century and flourished until the early 20th century, depicting the transient lives of people. The popular subjects of Ukiyo-e art resonated deeply with the public. This brush pen features a firm nib, making it easy to handle even for those new to brush pens. Choose from two available tip sizes to suit your needs. Fine tip size: approximately 0.5-1.5mm. Medium tip size: approximately 0.6-3.0mm. Ideal for postcards, letters, addressing envelopes, and signatures. Its ability to effortlessly vary line weight also makes it well-suited for illustrations and brush lettering. The water-based pigment ink is designed to resist water once dry, ensuring your writing remains legible even if it encounters moisture. There's no need to worry about addresses and messages becoming unreadable due to rain. It is recommended for outlining in colorful artworks and also works well on inkjet paper. Similar to the "Bimoji Fude" (beautiful character brush pen), it boasts an easy-to-grip barrel. Its non-slip, comfortable grip allows you to effortlessly create the lines you envision. The exquisite packaging makes it a thoughtful gift or a personal indulgence. Barrel Design: "Red Fuji" ( a Kasei Kaisei) By Katsushika Hokusai from "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" Much like "Thunderstorm beneath Mount Fuji," this piece portrays Mount Fuji, Japan's iconic peak. The lower section depicts a forest at the base of the mountain, set against a backdrop of a blue sky with white clouds. Snow is still visible on the summit of Mount Fuji. The striking red hue of Mount Fuji is particularly captivating. This "Red Fuji" may represent the "Aká Fuji" (red Fuji) phenomenon, which is believed to occur on summer mornings. However, research indicates no conclusive evidence to confirm that the scene depicted in the painting specifically took place in the morning. Precautions: To prevent excessive ink flow, it is recommended to store the brush pen horizontally. Always ensure the cap is securely fastened after use to prevent the nib from drying out. Please use with care, as the ink may be difficult to remove from clothing if it comes into contact. Kindly note that this brush pen is a disposable item and cannot be refilled with ink.
