Hiroshima is a city known worldwide for its history, but many are surprised to learn it is also home to one of Japan’s most revered traditional crafts: brush-making. In the scenic town of Kumano, artisans have spent centuries perfecting the art of the ‘fude’ (brush). This legacy of precision and dedication is beautifully captured in the Kumanofude U Series Best of Me Makeup Brushes, a set that brings world-class Japanese craftsmanship directly to your vanity.
Finding a makeup toolkit that balances portability with professional quality can be a challenge. Often, travel-sized sets sacrifice the texture and performance of full-sized tools. The Best of Me set solves this problem by applying the Japanese philosophy of innovation rooted in tradition. Each brush is designed to be versatile and compact, ensuring that you never have to compromise your look, whether you are at home or on the go. This set serves as a perfect sampler of the legendary Kumano quality, offering a superb makeover for any cosmetic kit.
This curated collection features four essential brushes: Base Makeup, Face Design, Point Makeup, and Eyebrow. What makes them truly unique is the U Series approach to materials. By blending premium natural hairs—like soft Sokoho and Saikoho goat hair or durable horse hair—with high-quality PBT synthetic fibers, these brushes are optimized for modern liquid and powder cosmetics. The Base Makeup brush, for example, uses a special blend of Sokoho goat hair and PBT to ensure a smooth, even application that accommodates the latest makeup techniques.
The attention to detail extends to the specific design of each tool. Every brush in the set has an overall length of approximately 12 cm (4.7 inches), making them incredibly ergonomic yet small enough to fit into the included 16.6 cm (6.5 inch) nylon zippered case. From the 3.8 cm bristle length of the Saikoho goat hair Face Design brush to the precise 0.75 cm horse hair Eyebrow brush, every millimeter is calculated for performance. This set is more than just a utility; it is a piece of Hiroshima’s artistic history.
Explore one of Japan’s most revered crafts and experience the difference that authentic artisan tools can make. Whether you are a beauty enthusiast or a professional, the Kumanofude U Series Best of Me Makeup Brushes offer a touch of Japanese elegance and unmatched quality that will transform your daily routine into a work of art.
