Tanseido White Tanuki 13-piece Set
White Tanuki 13-Piece Brush Set
There is only one true way to hold a piece of history in your hand — and this is it. This exclusive 13-brush collection is crafted from a singular, irreplaceable stock of white tanuki (Japanese raccoon dog belly hair) that sat, untouched and unknown, in the workshop of Tanseido for more than 30 years. Tanseido is a brushmaker rooted in Kumano-cho, Hiroshima — the small town whose name is synonymous with the pinnacle of Japanese brushcraft, where generations of artisans have passed down the exacting standards this set was born from.
White tanuki has long held a rarefied place among Japan's finest brush materials. Prized for a firmness and natural spring that few other hairs can match, it is the material artisans have reached for when a brush needs to hold its shape with quiet authority — precise, controlled, and utterly reliable under the hand. And hair aged for decades, as this stock has been, is valued even more highly still: over time, each individual strand develops a depth of strength and resilience that newly-sourced hair simply cannot replicate. What you're holding is not just a brush — it's the product of three decades of patience, culminating in a tactile experience that feels closer to heirloom than tool.
This is a set that exists in vanishingly small numbers. Only 3 sets were ever made from this stock, and once they're gone, this exact material will never be available again — Tanseido has no more of it. This collection is offered exclusively through Fude Beauty; you will not find it anywhere else, in Japan or otherwise.

Why Japanese Makeup Brushes?

Centuries of History
Japanese makeup brushes evolved from the traditional craft of calligraphy-brush making, which dates back hundreds of years.
Uncut Bristle Tips
Rather than being cut by machines into shape, Japanese Fude bundled in molds to take advantage of natural fine tips.
High-Quality materials
The finest natural bristles, innovative synthetic fibers, wooden handles, and traditional finishing techniques like lacquerware.
Makeup Performance
Uncut bristle tips are known to make a difference in product pick-up, softness on skin, and a smooth, even application.
