ABOUT US

For over 70 years, Bisyodo has unparalleled expertise in the ancient art of traditional brush making.
We use only the highest quality materials to create our beautifully handcrafted brushes. Our exclusive brush technology, developed in Japan by Ueda Bisyodo, provides an airbrushed quality and sophisticated finish not found in other brushes. 

Concept

Some brush-shaped patterns, which are thought to have been drawn in the late Neolithic, have been found: this suggests that brush-like items already existed at the time.

In Japan’s Nara period, when Buddhism became prevalent, copying Sutra scrolls spread throughout the country, thus increasing in demand for brushes all over Japan.

Afterward, in the Heian period, Kuukai -who was also known as a master calligrapher- brought the newest brushmaking techniques back from China, passed them to brushmakers and had them create brushes to offer to the imperial court: this is said to be the beginning of Japanese brushmaking.

Brushes thus originated from “Writing”, then evolved to makeup brushes that focus more on “Drawing”.Ueda Bisyodo is a brush workshop that has inherited the Japanese old traditional brushmaking techniques.

Characteristics of Brush making

There are mainly two origins of makeup brushes; paintbrushes born to “draw” in Europe and ink brushes born to “write” in East Asia which is famous for Kumano brush. Uyeda Bisyodo does not limit itself to Japanese tradition and adopts the world’s cutting-edge technologies and techniques, such as European hair refinement technology, to offer brushes one step beyond the existing products.
