The other day, I saw this long goat hair calligraphy brush being sold on an auction site. The handle states that it is 精品青鋒 二号 from 洪塘湖筆. Such brushes actually get better with age, if maintained properly, so I took the chance and bought it.
The length of the hair is 99mm with a diameter of 15mm. This makes it more than suitable for writing several large characters on a single sheet of 半切 paper (34.5cm by 135cm). In fact, this was the brush I used to write these two pieces.
It actually writes very well, and I will likely be using this brush for an upcoming exhibition since it requires me to write big characters on a big sheet of paper.
