Compared to modern writing methods, brush calligraphy is much more cumbersome in its use of tools, and the necessity of having an appropriate working environment. But its expressive, creative and spiritual qualities cannot be expressed as fully via the use of modern writing methods. In order to render this traditional method of writing more convenient and efficient, thereby, hopefully reintegrating it into the modern way of life, without sacrificing either culture or pleasure, I have rendered each of the tools modular and portable, so that they can be freely combined as snuggly as Tetris blocks into a box the same size as today’s stationary cases.
The set comes with two types of boxes, the brush box and the ink box, the former allows for a combination of different hair types of brush heads [1] and coloured stems, as well as paperweight, pen rest and paper cutter. Whilst the ink box allows for the free combination of various colours of liquid ink, Inksticks, inkstone [2], Water dropper and seal. Each set being contained within their own modules, allowing the user to combine different tools into a full case to suit individual needs and preferences.
