It was exactly 50 years ago that Hakuhodo started doing business in the town of Kumano near Hiroshima. That this business was brushes wasn't at all unexpected, since the Kumano area has a tradition for producing brushes that goes back to the Edo period (1600-1868). The quality of the brushes from the area is so high that the words "Kumano fude" (Kumano brushes) carry a special weight among people who use brushes for their work, including calligraphers or makeup artists. And Kumano fude of the best kind are what you get with the Hakuhodo Basic 5 Brushes Set A!
For the Hakuhodo Basic 5 Brushes Set A, the company has chosen some of its most useful brushes to create a toolkit that can cover any situation from morning to evening. You get two eye shadow brushes, the J004 Round & Flat Eye Shadow and the J005 Round & Flat Eye Shadow, at 11.5 mm (0.5") and 6.3 mm (0.2"), respectively, plus a eyebrow brush (the J5549 Eyebrow Angled) and a brush for highlights (the J6530 Highlight Tapered).
