Product Information
Full details
The Pilot Shunpitsu Fude Brush Pen is an essential tool for calligraphers, illustrators, and artists who prioritize speed and precision. Its standout feature is the ultra-fast drying ink that sets in just one second, effectively eliminating smudges during high-intensity lettering or sketching. While it offers incredible versatility for line variation, the water-based dye ink is not permanent or waterproof, which is a key consideration for artists who plan to layer media over their work.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is the ink waterproof?
No, the Pilot Shunpitsu uses water-based dye ink, which will smudge or bleed if exposed to water or wet media.
Can I use this for left-handed writing?
Yes, because the ink dries in just one second, it is one of the best choices for left-handed calligraphers who typically struggle with smudging.
What is the maximum line width?
The soft tip is capable of producing lines up to 2.0mm wide under firm pressure.
How many pens come in a set?
This set includes 5 individual pens.
Can I refill these pens?
The Pilot Shunpitsu is designed as a disposable brush pen and is not intended to be refilled.
Troubleshooting
Ink flow is skipping during use
Ensure the cap is closed tightly and store the pen nib-down for 30 minutes to re-saturate the brush tip.
The brush tip appears frayed
Avoid heavy pressure. Use a light, controlled touch to allow the tip's natural elasticity to do the work rather than forcing the stroke.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Pilot Shunpitsu Fude Brush Pen performing at its best, store the pens horizontally when not in use to ensure even ink distribution to the tip. Avoid leaving the cap off for extended periods, as the sensitive tip can dry out quickly.
- Compatibility: Best used on high-quality stationery or bleed-proof marker paper to prevent feathering.
- Care: If the tip collects paper fibers, gently tap the side of the nib against a clean surface or use a soft, damp cloth to remove debris. Avoid pressing too hard into the paper, as excessive force can deform the soft tip over time.
