Product History
When did these crafts start to craft?：200 years ago / 1800AD / Edo period in Japan
Kumano brush is a traditional craft made in Hiroshima Prefecture. The history of the Kumano brush dates back to the late Edo period (1800s). Full-scale production started in the year 1835, but production temporarily ceased during World War II. After the war, when calligraphy education was discontinued, the company began producing not only calligraphy brushes but also painting brushes and cosmetic brushes. Later, calligraphy education in schools was restored, resulting in a greater demand for Kumano brushes than before.
