A Short History of Baby Hair Calligraphy Brushes

In ancient China, it was traditional for babies to have their heads shaved bald when they reached full month. This was part of a cleansing process before the baby entered the religious temple of its community. The calligraphy brush tradition developed as a result of this practice, with parents having the brushes made to bestow good fortune on their children during the imperial examinations. Legend has it that a calligraphy brush made from the first cut of hair from a baby is the best that money can buy. This is because of the unique tapering quality of the new hair, something which happens only once in a lifetime. Regardless of whether or not your child becomes a scholar, the gift of a calligraphy brush made from their baby hair is something unique, intensely personal, and full of love. Our master craftsmen are some of the best in SG and can construct the brushes using a wide range of materials from durable sandalwood to precious agate.
