Teue Burashi Master Craftsman: Miyagawa Kiyasu (宮川 彰易さん)

In Tokyo by contrast, a city that had started out with many businesses engaged in producing industrialpurpose brushes, highlydurable brushes whose bristles were handinserted was developed.

Because handinserted bristles in such brushes run together in that they are all pulled down by an internal metal wire called a "pulling string," they are more robust than bristles in machinemade brushes because with machinemade brushes bristles are directly inserted into each individual hole (and they are not secured by a "pulling string"). It is for this reason that Tokyo's brush manufacturers continue the traditional practice of inserting brush bristles by hand.
