SHAQUDA is an innovative brand developing brushes born from the fusion of traditional Kumano craftsmanship and modern design. Located in eastern Hiroshima, the scenic mountain town Kumano has been Japan's most famous brush-making town since the Edo period over 180 years ago.
Master artisans born and raised in Kumano express pride in their heritage and innovative spirit with this exclusive line of brushes. They put their heart and soul into every brush, tapping into their extraordinary ability to select exactly the right hairs, hand finish each brush tip, and carve out the perfect brush shape to fit into a hand using traditional koma tools.
A woman applying lip rouge with a SHAQUDA brush effortlessly captures the graceful poise and delicacy of a Japanese tea ceremony. Simple, gracious, and detailed with a sophisticated yet expressive design, SHAQUDA ushers in a new era of ideal brush aesthetic.
