This was extremely helpful! My friend got me a very similar set as a gift and I had no idea how to use it. This is the first video I have seen that is actually educational and not ASMR! Thank you so much!
Thank you for this video! I received a kit just like this one in 1970 from a nurse who just moved to the U.S. from Korea. I had no idea how to use it. I saved it and now my grand daughter is interested in calligraphy, so I gave it to her. This will help us a lot! What a special treat! Thank you, again!
I work at a Goodwill and say a kit like this but it was with a paper book, two brushes, a stone for ink, the dry ink, and the little water well and brush rest, and this was very helpful. Thank you!
Thank you very much! The description is perfect. I just bought a beautiful set, very similar to this, at a Charity shop, and wasn’t sure what a couple of items were.
I bought a Box like this on a private market but had absolutely no clue what it was but it looked so aesthetic so i gave it a try. Now i understand. This Video has a very good explanation.
I got a kit like this but with more brushes from an antique store a few months ago and I’ve been looking for how to use it. Thank you so much for this video!!!!!
I have all sorts of art supplies that get tucked away on a shelf. It's a lot of fun to rediscover them and see what they can do. Have fun! Calligraphy can be an incredibly soothing form of art.
Yes, and I love those brushes. I started out with watercolor classes in college. Still love the calligraphy, drawing with ink, etc. My set cleaned up nicely. Not like me to leave things in storage without a thorough cleaning, unless something drastic happened. Maybe we moved or something, it got stored and a little forgotten. Best wishes for your work.
@@sparklekitties I love love love watercolors. I have a separate channel at Lisa Shea Artist ru-vid.com/show-UCn46fz0fMUHXhgQ9C4gQ7VA where I'm practicing with those. I'm still a beginner but I love it!
My nana got me one of these from Singapore (early internet days) and I hadn’t even realised there was a bottom layer! I guessed what some of it was and how to use it. Now I’m not sure I could find my kit and my nana has passed :(
I'm sorry to hear your nana has passed away. Maybe now is the time to do an organization project and track it down! Or you can get a new one in honor of her.
That is sort of like asking a watercolor painter what paints are the best. It is all about what you, the artist, enjoy. Maybe you like giant brushes for making big, swoopy shapes. Maybe you prefer delicate little brushes for making small works of art. It's up to your style!
@@lisasheaorigami yeah I noticed that too....Japanese sets can be really basic and minimal and can also be complete...In my case, it is only luck I found a paper weight and a complete set here in my country from a Japan surplus store..... It's a rare find and complete ones can be really expensive as $20 from surplus stores
@@lisasheaorigami yeah. thank you. although the inkstone I have is as small as my palm, and another smaller and the ink paste container is smaller than my 2.5cm seal but yeah I'm having much fun
Do you mean that the voice is hard to hear against the background music for you? Or that you think the voice recording itself has issues? It would be really odd if you felt the voice recording itself was poor - I'm using a fairly solid camera recording system. Still, I can look into it ...
Nice but I can barely hear your voice over the very intrusive music!!! I just want to hear *you*- the vid is interesting enough that we don't need to be entertained too...
I bought my particular kit in a Japanese-owned store in Boston. There are all sorts of art stores and Japanese / Chinese stores which stock them. There are also plenty of online sources.
There are countless types of brushes out there - it all depends on which particular kit you get. They can be horse hair, goat hair, weasel hair, a mix of hairs, etc. etc.
@@snackpack210 It's not that the music is bad, I just can barely hear her voice over it! Folks don't really know how to add *background*, not *drown out*, music...!
I apologize that you found the music a problem for hearing my voice. Each person's hearing can vary from others quite a lot - some easily distinguish voices while others have immense challenges with a voice against a background. I can soften the music in subsequent videos if even at this level some people are having trouble hearing the vocals against the background.
