Takeda Japanese Makeup Brushes

About Kumano and Takeda Brush

Takeda is based in Kumano, which is a part of Hiroshima, Japan. Kumano is a small town where most companies are specialized in brushmaking since the mid-19th. Not all Japanese artisan brushes are made in Kumano, nor are they a part of Kumano Brush Union (you recognize these brushes from a "K symbol sticker in their plastic sleeves), but this &#;brush town&#; of Japan has become the symbol of high-quality standards among brush lovers. There is also an annual brush festival in Kumano and a museum dedicated to the history of brushes (mostly calligraphy).

Ordering From Takeda Brush

Takeda Brush website is only available in Japanese, but they have excellent customer service in English! My Japanese is quite rusty, and I&#;ve never been good at reading kanji, so I used Google Translate to browse the site. It&#;s far from excellent translation, but at least you can check brush and hair types. At first, I was very confused as there were so many new (to me) brush styles, but fortunately, the images on Takeda&#;s site are very clear when it comes to shapes and measurements. I still haven&#;t got a hang of reading the &#;product codes&#;, but perhaps when I&#;m more familiar with the brand.

When I was unsure of something, I could trust Mr. Takeda answered quickly via . He kindly explained to me the product codes, hair types, ordering process, etc. The ordering process itself was easy: I requested the styles I wanted, I got an invoice for the brushes+tax and shipping costs. I paid via PayPal. Notice that you need to pay for the PayPal fee and the taxes are not included in brush prices on the website. They sent me images of the brushes before gluing, which was very nice! I chose EMS shipping and it took only a couple of days from Japan to Finland.

What was dangerous for my wallet was the possibility of customizing the brushes. You can add engraving or change the brush handle with a small additional fee, but for special changes such as brush hair/design, it can be more expensive &#; depending on what you request. For me it was impossible to know the crafting fees of certain designs, so I inquired Mr. Takeda by sending measurements or reference images of the brushes. I also got a lot of help from Myra as she had ordered custom brushes several times&#; which enabled me more haha.
