Well, I purchased this as an alternate to my Niji water brush that I have used for a few years and love. I thought I'd try a different brand. As yet I haven't tried it and I admittedly went with the Sakura brand name given that I use the Micron pens in my art and they have always worked well for me. Out of the package it appears kind of cheaply made and it's rather small, in my opinion. I understand that it is supposed to be a "travel" brush but so is my Niji which is significantly longer and better made.

Pros: I suppose it's as advertised. I haven't tried it out yet and am not currently able to.

Cons: Top is reverse threaded. States "do not lose black cap", which is small and (in my opinion) unnecessary anyway, but there's really no place to keep it. The cap is supposedly for separating the two halves for travel, so that the tank doesn't leak. It just feels poorly made and the cap that's supposed to go on the back of the brush for added length (I guess? Still shorter than my Niji by a lot) doesn't seem to attach all that firmly.

I probably wouldn't purchase this again but I will keep it and try it out. I suspect I'll be more happy with the Niji I own and have used for watercolor for a few years now. I'll also probably buy another Niji next time.
