This is my first squirrel brush; I had been tempted by other makie powder brushes out there but because they are so expensive and squirrel is such a pesky bristle type I wanted to wait until I found a makie design I really loved. Then I saw the Maiko design. I do wish the makie wrapped around the handle but the Maiko itself is so beautiful and intricate, there's a lot of finer details. So I had to get it, it's even more beautiful in person. I don't have any other squirrel to compare it to but it feels very soft to me. I don't reach for it all the time since it's squirrel and I feel like I need to baby it, but that's just the reality of a squirrel brush. If the makie design speaks to you like it did for me, I do think it's worth it!

Description
Maki-e is a technique representative of lacquer art uniquely developed by Japan and has been practiced since the Nara period about 1200 years ago.
It's no exaggeration to say that this brush is the king of powder brush. It uses only high quality hair carefully selected from gray squirrel hair by skilled craftsmen in Kumano, Hiroshima, Japan. Extra dense bristles is especially created to pick up and apply the perfect amount of powder every time. Dip the brush in the powder, tap off excess powder, then dab it all over, then swirl your powder brush in circle motion until it vanishes from white to invisible. The dense domed head gives you a silky air-brushed finish.
