Many Chinese brushes are of poor quality but this one is as good as any I have in my collection.

I’m trying to use this brush but I hesitate because the hairs keep coming out.

I test brush against brush to find which I like best. It was in the middle

The Mountain Horse Ti is a fantastic brush! It is large but still comes to a fine point (allowing for fine lines), is quite absorbent and holds a good amount of ink, and is firmer and more controllable than a wool brush. I use it for drawing with ink on mulberry paper and it does a great job.

Just know that the longevity of your brush, as with all Chinese painting brushes, depends on the care you give it. When you receive it, the bristles are glued together, so you have to soften them by setting the brush in a glass of cool water, just up to the plastic neck so the bamboo handle does not get soaked. Swirl it around every few minutes and then gently press it against the side of the glass to encourage its flexibility until it is supple. Rinse it again until until it isn't at all gooey to the touch. Now, when you load the brush with ink or Chinese colors, do so only up to about 3/4 of the bristles so that the ink or paint does not get to the base, where the hairs have been bundled together and glued in.After each use, always rinse thoroughly in cool water, drying it carefully on a cloth or paper towel until little or no ink appears on the towel, and bring it to a point and let it air-dry completely.Otherwise, ink remaining at the base of the bristles can rot, and the bristles will come undone from the handle. Never prep or rinse your brushes with warm/hot water or soap.With good care, your brush should last for at least a decade.

This "Mountain Horse Hair" brush is pretty good. For landscapes (rocks, mountains) one needs a brush with stiff, firm bristles, like from the mane and tail of a horse. A mixture of those with a few softer bristles is ideal. This brush is more soft than stiff, but does have enough stiffness and spring to create some landscape components. If I were a more experienced painter, it would probably work fine. I did get another Mountain Horse Hair brush from another supplier which is absolutely perfect and which I use, now, more frequently than this one.

This is my go-to brush for brush script hand lettering. I have a few others that are similar, but this one just feels right and never lets me down. Once you feel like you know a brush, you'll be hard-pressed to use another. Perfect size, great materials, great price. If you're looking to get into brush script hand lettering, this is the brush to get.

DON'T BUY THIS BRUSH! It's a knock-off of the Happy Dot brush that you can buy from Oriental Art Supply. I am so disappointed and mad about this. This brush sucks.
