有馬の人形筆の起源は、室町時代であるといわれています。文字を書こうと筆を持つと、筆の尻から可愛い人形が飛び出すからくり細工と、絹糸を巻いて美しい模様を筆の柄につけるのが特徴です。

The origin of Arima doll brushes is said to date back to the Muromachi period. These brushes are characterized by their intricate mechanisms, where a cute doll pops out from the end of the brush when you hold it to write, and by their beautifully patterned handles adorned with silk thread wrapping.
