They are handmade in Japan. Drawell will ship readily to anywhere in the world. The prices on their website are in Japanese currency but if you send Mr Maeyama an email he will give you prices in other currencies. The brushes I use are the Maestro Series (black and Gold handles) and the Golden Nylon Series 11-2 (red and white handles) and I use sizes 5, 7, 9, 11 and 13. http://www.drawell.co.jp/english/product.html --------------------------------------------------------------- CONNECT WITH ME Visit the YouTube Community Tab here: https://www.youtube.com/DianeAntoneStudio/community Diane Antone Studio Private YouTube Members Group - for Members only https://www.facebook.com/groups/dianeantonestudiomembers Website: https://dianeantone.com Facebook Diane Antone Studio: https://www.facebook.com/dianeantonestudio Facebook Members Only Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/dianeantonestudiomembers Facebook Learn to Paint Watercolor Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/learnwatercolourpainting Facebook Learn to Paint Mixed Media Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/learnhowtopaint Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dianeantonestudio Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/dianeantonestudio TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dianeantonestudio Please visit our baby sister channel @fromthegarden Tip Jar: https://tinyurl.com/dastipjar --- We use royalty-free music from Epidemic Sound.
