“Chikuhodo's Z series is incredible, easily one of the best on the market. You can't go wrong with any of the brushes in this series!”

“Like the many reviewers of Chikuhodo Z series brushes, my overall experience was delight that the brush exceeded my expectations.”

First released in 2019, Chikuhodo pioneered for this bristle type, which quickly became one of their most popular collections. Encasing the soft and bouncy, salt-and-pepper-hued natural bristles is an elegant olive tinted aluminum ferrule, with a hard maple wood handle that rests smoothly in your hand.

"I absolutely LOVE this whole series. Fox hair is the best of both worlds. You get the softness of squirrel with the durability of goat. It also gives amazing color payoff while squirrel applies lightly. They wash easily and retain their shapes. I would repurchase any of those if needed. If you can swing it I highly recommend buying the whole series."

The Takumi series are made with the highest quality Saikoho goat hair, which is left un-dyed to bring out the feeling of the original texture, and keep the luminous white hue. The light and soft touch of the bristles feels like a gentle embrace for skin.
