We are embarrassed by many low quality calligraphy products on the market today. They are poor representations of the Chinese people and culture. At Good Characters, we will not sell you products that we won't use ourselves.

I am so happy with how this brush feels and preforms! It transfers every movement and nuance in my arm/hand fingers etc Almost like a Katana. It feels very much like the Wishing brush #3 but just a bit more on the sensitive side. Which is very good.

The Large Blue Sky brush is as expected, fantastic! like its smaller brother the medium, this takes a bit more concentration for me to use but seems to almost able to read my mind when it comes to forming each stroke. Another quality brush!

WOW! What a great Brush Andy ! I am so happy with how this brush feels and preforms! It handles like a Katana in my hands, well, almost like a Katana but honestly, it transfers every movement and nuance in my arm/hand fingers etc.

It is everything you indicated it would be Andy! The Sutra in several formats. It is exactly what I wanted and needed. The printing and quality of the paper is 1st class. I am very happy!

The scripture brush is what I seem to be using mostly though as the tip to me seems a bit more springy.

I am finding the destiny brush to be a good all around brush for me.

Your "realistic" prices really go a long way for a person to easily obtain solid work materials.

My teacher had told me years ago that my relationship with my 4 treasures would take on special meaning when the right combination were at hand. I see this now as I make ink on the new stone.

2009-06-07 04:55:55 Stewart Kinner

I wanted to tell you that the stone is fantastic. I have always thought i would never have a real nice stone like this because the prices I had been seeing for the real good ones were so expensive.
