The ability to find the best quality raw hair, passed down from our founder, Ueda Takeichi, is the basis of Uyeda Bisyodo.

Uyeda Bisyodo is proud of being the Japan’s only “Raw Hair Importer & Processing Company”.
We have provided the high quality raw hair to many brushmakers including Kumano .. The “Detection” ability we have cultivated is unrivaled.

“Refinement”, to draw out the raw hair’s natural quality, is a technique possessed only by Uyeda Bisyodo in Japan.
We can refine raw hair to the highest quality, without damaging it in any way.

This process draws out the hair’s natural quality (smoothness, firmness, stability, etc.).by removing dirt, salt and oil from the hair. During this process, it is very important not to damage the hair as much as possible.
By combining the European and Japanese hair refinement techniques and enhancing them, Uyeda Bisyodo has succeeded in meeting this extremely difficult demand.

Japanese traditional hair refinement technique includes “water boiling” → “drying” → “ash rubbing”. “Water boiling” is a process that dissolves and removes dirt, salt and oil. In addition to this whole process, European style uses medicinal products.
Uyeda Bisyodo applies European technique with the special attention to the ratio of the medicinal products used, temperature etc., and thus has succeeded in drawing out the hair’s natural quality without damaging it.

“Hairtip Creation” to offer the ultimate touch
Uyeda Bisyodo’s artisans who master the Japanese traditional techniques, are able to bind hairtips naturally without cutting them.

We believe that creating the tip means to breathe life into the brush.
Creating brush tips is an extremely high level technique: the artisans who are proficient in this technique are regarded as master brushmakers. Such a delicate, intricate process enables to make the most of the raw hair’s quality to create our wonderful brushes.
