Brush(es) in Focus: The Chikuhodo MK-UM and MK-SK!

I was a bit aprehensive about creating this vlog because it was a bit “repetitive”. After all, I have already talked about the Maki-e Brushes from Chikuhodo a number of times before. BUT, I do remember that I would only showcase the brushes comparitively by applying swatches of color on my arm. Even, if on numerous occsions, I have used the brushes to apply color and powder on my face on various vlogs – I have decided to create a dedicated video for these two brushes.

After all, as of this writing, these are the only current Maki-e brushes being produced by Chikuhodo (not including the travel sets).

So, I hope this vlog will prove insightful! Please enjoy!
