The brushes and everything else are super tiny, only a child's hand can hold those. Not a good set at all. Rather just go to micheal's art store and get the sumi set there. Just stay away from this set, unless you you buy this as a gift for your 3 years old child.

It has everything I needed for my daughter and I to start learning Chinese writing. The chop is made of real stone and our teacher says this is a perfect example of what you need to learn Chinese writing. This is a great way for us to learn about her birth culture.

This item comes in a very nice case and has great presentation. It is perfect for a "beginning" calligraphy student. My 11 year old son loves his set and was very happy with the items included. If you are looking for something more advanced you would want something with a little finer brushes. I would buy this item again for a child.

The product was nice overall, however I felt that it's only good for displaying in a cabinet. I tried to use it but the brushes are too small, and the ink isn't very effective either. If someone really wants to practice calligraphy, they should buy the liquid ink and larger brushes.

This arrived sooner than expected and was beautiful! The photo on line does not do it justice. I have thoroughly enjoyed using it as a beginner, and look forward to adding to it's basics as I get better at ink brush technique.

The same afternoon I ordered it from Amazon the dealer
confirmed the order and notified me that it had been
shipped. Can't ask for better service than that.

It was everything I expected and just what my
granddaughter wanted. I'm not an expert on
calligraphy but I looked at a lot of sets in stores
and on line and this seemed to be high quality at
a reasonable price.

I found this item very helpful in improving Chinese calligraphy. It is ideal for starters. I love the one I have and feel it has been a Godsend in improving calligraphy. It's like the thick pencils for beginner writers of Western languages. These brushes are on the thick end so beginners can get used to the proper way of holding them and writing with them. Excellent for any beginner.

Everything in the kit is perfect! Its everything you need in there to use for chinese calligraphy! I <3 it! I know make lots of art with it!
MUST HAVE!
it is probably the best you can buy!

I bought this sumi set for my son. I will let him describe his reaction.
Pretty stoked and impresed by the detail and authenticy of the set.
