Redline is designed by Princeton, the best-known brushmakers in the United States. But it's actually made in Germany, where Princeton was able to find the skilled artisans they needed for this large, highly consistent brush.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach Redline is made by hand in Europe, from locally sourced beechwood and a mixture of different synthetic fibers for optimal paint handling and maximum color capacity. Redline brushes offer the same consistency you expect from smaller artist brushes, but in the big (2\" or 3\" wide) sizes you need for priming, underpainting, mural painting, and other big jobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRedline bristles are springy, durable, and surprisingly precise for such a large brush. They work perfectly with any oil or acrylic paint, and they wash out more easily than low-quality brushes from the hardware store.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRedline handles are multi-coated with red lacquer, so your new favorite big brush will stand out on your studio pegboard. Available in four shapes: oval, flat, angle, and short-handled flat. Each shape is available in a 2\" or 3\" width.

But in our experience, using a good pen holder makes it easier to realize your vision and reduce mistakes. The holder's body should be balanced and comfortable, and its nib mount should be secure and easy to use. Most cheap holders have maybe one of these features. Kakimori's artisan-made pen holders have all of them—plus, they're made with natural materials for a stunning look and feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the Kakimori Sakura Wood Pen Holder, made from Japanese cherry by local woodworkers.  It's sanded perfectly smooth and treated with a nearly invisible coat of ink-resistant finish, so you have a moment to clean off stray ink before it absorbs into the wood. The organic surface and the understated, graceful appearance of natural cherry wood are on full display, without a thick coat of lacquer to obscure them. The holder is gently tapered toward the back, with a low center of gravity and a perfect 7\" length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Kakimori dip pen holder is fitted with a Tachikawa universal nib mount. The Tachikawa mount is a favorite among pros who use ink, like our resident cartoonist Curt. Unlike the Western style dip pen mount with a large, open hole and metal prongs, the plastic press-to-fit Tachikawa mount is rustproof and harder to gum up with ink. It also holds the nib much more securely than metal nib mounts, which lose their tensile strength when used repeatedly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note, a nib is not included.

The Kakimori Pen Nib is a traditional metal dip pen, meant to be attached to a standard pen holder, but it has the soul of a fountain pen.

It cleans up with a simple rinse and dry, so you can dip it in a different little bottle of magical color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe line is fairly constant, with a minimal amount of line variation and a similar width to a Japanese fine or a European extra fine.

He served as a bridge between past and present--between the ancient traditional craft and the development of origami as a contemporary practice--inventing new techniques and in preserving the traditional Japanese forms. In fact, the notational system of diagrams widely used today to indicate how models are folded was developed mainly by him. Above all, Yoshizawa was responsible for elevating origami to the status of an art form.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis beautiful, hardcover origami book is the first comprehensive survey of the extraordinary work of Akira Yoshizawa. In addition to 60 models from his private collection, it features over 1,000 original drawings by the artist, and English translations of his writings in Japanese on origami, all of which are published here for the very first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBorn in 1911, Akira Yoshizawa is the father of modern origami. The publication of his first collection of models in the early 1950s caused a major sensation. In 1954, he founded the International Origami Centre in Tokyo. In 1955, his original works were exhibited for the first time at a show in Amsterdam, an enormously successful event that introduced him to the West. It was during these years that he came up with a system of notation based on a series of symbols and graphic signs indicating various types of folds and thus created a method that was later adopted by many origami artists and is still in use today. In subsequent decades Yoshizawa folded and taught origami, published books on the art, and participated in innumerable events on an international scale. As his fame spread throughout the world, he came to be seen as the most distinguished representative of the art, a pioneer of many techniques used in modern origami. Yoshizawa died in 2005, on the day of his 94th birthday.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePreface:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKiyo Yoshizawa married the Master in 1956 and became his manager from that point on. After her husband's death, she worked on preserving and disseminating his legacy throughout the world, directing and supporting the International Origami Centre with her constant activity, and passing down the artist's original techniques, including wetfolding, one of his inventions. In recent years, she has organized various exhibitions abroad to help the broad public understand Yoshizawa's works even better.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eIntroduction:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBorn in 1961, Robert J. Lang has been deeply involved in origami since the age of six, when he discovered several instructions for traditional designs in a library book. This early beginning ignited a lifelong passion for the art. He is now considered one of the leading origami artists in the world, with hundreds of original creations to his credit, as well as 14 books authored, co-authored, or edited on the art, numerous articles and instructions published in origami periodicals, and he regularly lectures and teaches origami at conventions and workshops around the world. He has a Ph.D. in Applied Physics from Caltech, and has used his mathematical and engineering training to advance origami, both artistically and in its applications to science and technology. In his origami career, he has drawn from many sources and influences, not least of which is the work of Yoshizawa-sensei. Yoshizawa's techniques, both technical and artistic, played a major role in Lang's own origami evolution, and he is honored to be able to contribute to this work of the master.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePhotographer:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBorn in 1958 in the prefecture of Chiba, Kazuo Hamada graduated from the Tokyo School of Photography and began freelancing in 1984.
