JINDARI brushes

　　JINDARI brushes are a specialty product from Baekundong, Gwangju, South Korea. The JINDARI brushes made by An Jong-seon are the highest quality brushes in Korea, crafted from weasel tail hair and wool, and are highly praised by calligraphers nationwide.

　　JINDARI is the former name of a place located in Baekundong, Gwangju. In the past, people who lived here made a living by producing brushes through family-based handicraft methods, and thus the brushes they made came to be known as JINDARI brushes. Nowadays, JINDARI brushes have gained even more fame due to the craftsmanship spirit of An Jong-seon, the fourth-generation successor in brush-making, and have also been designated as an intangible cultural asset of the region.
