This was my first time using gray squirrel hair, and I’m glad I purchased it from Chikuhodo. Even with a highly pigmented blush, it creates a soft, dewy look without making me look overdone.

I was very pleased with my purchase. I hesitated to have a name engraved, but I'm glad I did. I also purchased a case, so I plan to give a different makeup brush as a gift for some future occasion. The smile when the gift was opened brightened my entire year. Thank you for a truly special moment.

I use this as a blush brush. I wish I had bought it sooner. Although I expected a brush that wouldn’t be prickly, given the price, the quality far exceeded my expectations. It's so pleasant that I could keep brushing my skin with it all day. Applying makeup has become much more enjoyable.

I use this as a blush brush. It’s soft, the color payoff is great, and it’s easy to use.

Since I have sensitive skin, I purchased a squirrel hair brush. The brush picks up powder well, and I initially applied too much, but I’ve gotten used to it. The feel on the skin is outstanding.

I purchased this as a graduation gift for my daughter. She loved it so much that she got rid of her old brushes. I’ve also developed sensitive skin in recent years and was experiencing irritation with my old brushes. I believe Chikuhodo's makeup brushes are the best.

I have sensitive skin, and friction is my enemy, but this brush is smooth and gentle on the skin, with no prickling sensation. Even though I’m not very skilled, I can easily achieve an even and beautiful application by simply swirling the brush.

I was so impressed with my previous purchase—the brush was very easy to use, the powder blended well, and it was very gentle on the skin—that I decided to buy another one.

Chikuhodo offers various grades of brushes, and this one is top-tier. It’s said that President Fude-shi Tesshu personally oversees every step of the process, so I knew this would be the right choice. The Z-1 face brush is perfect for applying loose powder evenly across the entire face. As expected, the squirrel hair feels amazing. Each brush has its own unique characteristics, making it fun to use them for different purposes. Using this brush enhances the performance of even the best cosmetics. I’ve gone through countless brushes in the past, but I’m finally satisfied with this one. I wish I had discovered it earlier! Although it’s pricey, it’s worth it as a long-term investment. If I had a daughter, I would love to give her a set as a coming-of-age gift (unfortunately, I only have a son, but one can dream, right? haha). This is the ultimate brush choice!

The feel of the brush on my skin is simply amazing. Although it’s expensive, the comfort it provides is well worth the price. I’m very satisfied.

The handle fits perfectly in my hand, giving a sense of luxury and security. The brush is full and soft, making it feel great. Although it’s expensive, I’m very satisfied and plan to use it for a long time.

I used to apply makeup with a puff, but using a brush results in a much more polished finish! I’m glad I was able to get all my powder brushes from Chikuhodo.

I initially purchased this for work, but it was so comfortable to use that I bought more for personal use. I use the powder brush, blush brush, eyeshadow brush, and eyebrow brush. The most impressive feature is how soft the bristles are! They are incredibly fluffy, and I don’t feel any friction. The brushes are more voluminous than I imagined, and they help create a natural makeup look. Applying makeup has become something I look forward to every day. I’m glad I made the purchase. Thank you.

Squirrel hair. I never thought a brush could be so soothing! I’ve always been meticulous with my base makeup, but using this brush has made my morning routine so much more enjoyable. I’m thrilled to have found such an amazing product. I saw a large Canadian squirrel face brush at another store. I heard that long-haired Canadian squirrels are rare... I wish Chikuhodo sold it too. I think it was part of a series, though...

I used to use a set of Kumano brushes, but the experience and feel of these brushes are entirely different. My husband gifted this to me, and as expected from a brush that costs 15,750 yen, it never sheds and will last a lifetime. I’ll take great care of it.

This brush is incredibly soft, flexible, and feels great on the skin. I bought another one as a backup for when I’m washing the first. It was worth splurging on because now I can always use the Z-1 face brush, even while the other is drying.

I read on a blog that this brush is perfect for applying blush in a soft, round manner, so I decided to buy it. The bristles are plentiful and soft, making it a truly excellent product. I’m currently practicing how to apply blush well.

The powder applies evenly and thinly, and I’m very satisfied. I was amazed at how soft the brush feels on the skin. I’m planning to buy another makeup brush soon.
