Four Treasures of
the Study or Four Jewels of the Study 文房四寶 is an expression used to
denote the brush, ink, paper and ink stone used in Chinese and other
East Asian calligraphic traditions.
The brush is generally made from animal hair. Each type of hair has a
different ink capacity, which in turn results in a different appearance
of the brush's stroke. The handles of the brushes are commonly made of
bamboo.
