忠文堂

The boss and the proprietress are very kind, and they will introduce you the most suitable brushes and the characteristics and materials of different brushes very seriously. Since I came here to buy authentic Taiwanese hand-made brushes, in this era of declining traditional skills, their brushes still get what you pay for. Of course there are cheap brushes for students, but expensive ones are also available. It's not very expensive, but if you buy a good brush, you will get one less.

Very friendly old store in Tainan. From the daughter's fetus brush to the supplies for writing calligraphy, I have always bought it here. You can try writing with the brush~

Zhongwentang's brushes are beautiful memories from childhood to adulthood

The old woman invited me to the shop when I was worried about the brush writing and I was worried about it. I will explain hard in Japanese in a single word. I recommended a brush of Itachi hair so I will use it when I go back to Japan

The boss and the lady boss are very kind and willing to help, and can also help order rice paper of special thickness. Tainan old shop, highly recommended!

⚠️The store is on the road of the ring, not the park road! The arcade can be parked, and it is usually quite empty, so if you come by motorcycle, you don’t need to find a parking space, but you should pay attention to safety on the right side of the circle. There are really many circles in Tainan, and it is easy to be honked if you are not careful. The proprietress is very enthusiastic and will recommend suitable brushes. The size of the font will affect the difference in strokes. Because Ku wanted to write calligraphy during the Chinese New Year, I went to Zhongwentang to see a brush. The cheapest brush is 150$, but the size is not suitable for writing long strips or small squares. If you want to buy a brush that is suitable for writing this size, The cheapest price is 250$, and the proprietress said that most people who want to write Spring Festival couplets will choose the 800$ category. Because of price considerations, I did not choose to buy it in Zhongwentang later. There are also many books and supplies related to calligraphy in the store. Friends who need it can refer to it. The lady boss said that the brushes are all handmade, but I personally think that there is not much difference from the stationery store.
