Kuretake : Fude Pen : Usuzumi : No.31

This medium brush pen is filled with a grey water-based pigment ink that is perfect for blending, adding details or shading when creating illustrations, calligraphy and lettering. It has a brush tip that’s similar to a calligraphy brush and makes it easy to create different strokes. It is refillable and clearly recognisable due to the outside being grey.

Fude pens are a type of brush pen used traditionally for Japanese calligraphy but are a great tool for many artists. The brush pens either have brush tips made with brush fibres or fibre/foam tips that mimic a brush shape. They are roughly the size of normal marker pens making them convenient to travel with and easy to pack away.
