Vintage Japanese Hake Flat Wood and Goat Hair Paint Brush elegant plate Very good overall conditionI picked up this Japanese brush from the studio of an artist's estate sale just because I thought it was pretty. It is a Hake brush, used for blending watercolors and applying gesso, paste, or varnish. The brush features what I believe are goat hair bristles stitched to the wooden handle, which has a hole near the end for hanging. 12" long x 3" wide x 1 4" deep. In good vintage condition, with light wear and some spotting to the wood on one side.
