Set in the heart of Japan's brushmaking capital, the Fudenosato Kobo Brush Museum celebrates the meticulous craftsmanship behind over 80 percent of the nation's calligraphy, painting, and cosmetic brushes. Visitors can marvel at an enormous 12-foot ceremonial brush weighing 880 pounds and observe master artisans executing complex 12-step techniques refined since the 19th century. Interactive workshops invite you to craft your own custom brush to take home as a memorable keepsake. The museum also showcases the wide variety of uses for Kumano brushes, including their celebrated presence in world-famous luxury makeup brands.
