The name of this design is called máolus – meaning máo bi (Chinese brush) + stylus. In Chinese Painting and Calligraphy, it is practiced in a unique way that requires the user to hold the brush in a vertical gesture. Moreover, the tip of the brush is always kept pointed for easier control of brush stroke width. The nylon rope at the end of the brush is a salute to the traditional Chinese brush design. Overall, the máolus is a combination of Chinese heritage with today’s technology, integrating the past wisdom into future possibility.
