Kumano Brush | Calligraphy, Painting, Makeup…A Brush Connecting People, Beauty, and Expression
Kumano Brush (Kumano Fude) 🖋️🎨💄is a world-renowned Japanese brush, trusted by artists and makeup professionals worldwide for its exceptional quality.
Used in calligraphy, painting, makeup, and even Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki, Kumano brushes support both creative expression and everyday life.
In this film, we travel to Kumano Town in Hiroshima, where brushes are not just tools, but an integral part of local history, belief, and culture.
