Ashirai-kebo - a specialized brush crafted with horsehair, designed for the precise application of fine metal powders.
This meticulously handcrafted artisan brush is purpose-built for gathering keshi-type traditional powders, including fine gold, silver, and more. It enables you to gracefully sprinkle these powders onto a wet urushi-lacquer finish, a fundamental technique in the art of kintsugi.
Our Suggestion:
For those dedicated to the complete practice of Kintsugi, there's no need to clean this type of brush after each use. However, we recommend acquiring additional brushes for various metal-tone powders to prevent color contamination while pursuing your artistic endeavors.
