Chikuhodo
Chikuhodo S-KW6 Kiwami "Sō" (Creation) 7-Brush Set (LIMITED)
Every few years Chikuhodo opens the drawer where it keeps the hair it couldn't bear to use on anything ordinary, and builds a Kiwami set. This is the sixth, and it's called Sō — Creation — because the workshop has never put these materials together in this arrangement before.
Three of them do the work.
Saibikoho is the rarest grade of goat hair Chikuhodo holds: tips drawn so fine they look almost translucent, with a hand so soft the brush seems to be drawn along the skin rather than over it. Kolinsky is its opposite — real spring and snap through the body, tips that stay startlingly soft, so colour lands exactly where you aim it and blends without dragging. And on the largest brush, red fox and gray squirrel are blended: fox for smooth, measured resilience, squirrel for the airiness at the very tip.
Each handle is turned from ebony, dark and close-grained, carrying the character 「極」 in brushmaker Tesshyu's own hand, reproduced in gold by a special printing technique. The seven arrive in a pale wooden presentation box lined in crimson, the same character stamped on its lid.
Only 50 sets have been made.
The seven brushes
1 · Powder — red fox / gray squirrel
The set's showpiece. Fox gives it composure, squirrel gives it air, and together they lay powder down in a soft, even veil with a quiet luminosity — no patches, no edges.
Rounded flat · 183mm total · 63mm hair · Soft, low firmness, natural payoff
2 · Powder — Saibikoho
Round and deliberately dense, so it can work where the big brush can't: around the nose, under the eyes, into the creases, with the same weightless finish.
Round · 163mm total · 48mm hair · Soft, medium firmness, medium payoff
3 · Cheek — Saibikoho
Rounded flat and made to glide. What it leaves behind reads less like blush sitting on the face than like colour rising through it.
Rounded flat · 162mm total · 47mm hair · Soft, fairly low firmness, fairly natural payoff
4 · Highlight — Kolinsky
Enough spring to place light precisely where you want it and keep it there — dimension and a natural sheen, never a stripe.
Rounded flat · 155mm total · 40mm hair · Soft, fairly low firmness, fairly natural payoff
5 · Eyeshadow, large — Kolinsky
Covers the lid in two or three passes with colour that comes up glossy and even, and narrow enough at the edge to work as a highlighter in tighter places.
Rounded flat · 143mm total · 28mm hair · Soft, medium firmness, fairly bold payoff
6 · Eyeshadow, small — Kolinsky
Short, firm, tightly gathered. Holds its shape under pressure and delivers full saturation exactly on target — just as good as a concealer brush.
Rounded flat · 126mm total · 11mm hair · Soft, fairly low firmness, fairly natural payoff
7 · Eyeshadow, candle — Kolinsky
Two brushes in one shape: stand it on the point for the lash line or inner corner, lay it over on its side to sweep a wider band. Kolinsky keeps both movements controlled.
Candle shape · 126mm total · 11mm hair · Soft, fairly low firmness, fairly natural payoff

Returns & Exchanges
Japanese Fude makeup brushes are true treasures, and if looked after correctly, can last for many years. For instructions on washing and storage, we recommend following the instructions in the article below, which was developed in consultation with brush artisans.
Why Japanese Makeup Brushes?
Handmade by Artisans
From selecting the finest bristles and hand-bundling them into shape, assembling the brushes, and applying decorative elements.
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.
