Full Description:
Strength from center core rabbit hair Purple Bristle
but goat hair helps to contain more Ink
The Chinese on the right describes what Purple Bristle is and in the last few years prices for Purple Sword Bristle on the market went up 10 fold, just as it was vividly described in this famous and historical essay: On the back of the Wild
Rabbit in Southern Yangtze River mountains, there is a small patch of purple black hair
which has great elasticity and strength, it's also called Sword Bristle. Purple Bristle is
stronger, longer, and more flexible than regular rabbit hair. Because the patch is very
very small, they are hard to get and very very expensive. |
One of Tang dinasty's most famous poet Bai, Juyi in
"Purple Bristle Hair Brush" wrote: "Purple Brush, As pointy as chisel and
as sharp as knife, on southern mountain rocks, there is old wild rabbit, eat the bamboos,
drink the spring waters, and grow a patch of purple hair, people from Xuan region use them
to make brushes, out of thousands only one picked, .....Year over year when Xuan send the
brushes to the emperor, purple bristle price is hiher than gold. ..." Today the old
brush makers still use purple bristle and they are one of the best brushes!
