The Aitoh Bamboo Pen - Large is a double-ended bamboo pen designed for calligraphy, sketching, ink drawing and traditional Japanese Sumi-E painting. It is a simple but expressive tool, ideal for artists and makers who want natural, characterful lines rather than the very controlled result of a standard pen or metal nib.
Use it with drawing inks or calligraphy inks: dip the tip into the ink and work the line through angle, pressure and hand movement. Depending on how you hold it, the line can become fine, bold, broken, textured or more gestural, giving your work a lively handmade quality.
The key feature of the Large version is its double-ended design, giving you two working tips in one tool. This allows you to move between different line effects without changing tools. Use one end for more controlled marks and the other for looser, bolder lines, depending on the ink, the paper and the result you want.
