Natural Hair bristles & wood/bamboo handles are in overall good condition.
These brushes have been used with care & thousands & thousands of brush strokes remaining in them !!

Note:  Because these are used brushes, a small amount of sumi black/red ink (water based) residue may remains in the bristles. The brushes' bristles may be a little stiff.  Clean bristles with your favorite method, keeping in mind water based ink.

How we prepare order & clean used hair bristle brushes.
1. Soak the brush in lukewarm water for 15 minutes.
2. Then, wash the bristles with your hands in running lukewarm (not hot), water until the ink has been washed out to your satisfaction.  (It may help to press the bristles against the palm of your hand.)
3. It may be helpful to add a small amount of neutral liquid soap to the warm water.
4. Lightly squeeze the bristles with a cloth or paper towel to remove most of the water, shape in a point, if desired. 
5. Hang for final drying in cool, airy location.
