I received an email from cdjapan that they are having a sale of 15 and 20 %off on select coyudo brushes, and i want to buy the fupa 14 to use with my powder foundation but the white kinoko mushroom is 20%off... Dont know which one to get, im looking for a very soft but dense brush for medium coverage, the offer ends on 3 days..please help
I didn't receive an email from them
I can't tell by looking at the site but did the sale end? Darn I bet I missed it. I have been eyeing the Fupa 14 for a while now

There is a nice article with lots of pictures and videos about the history and making of Japanese makeup brushes on this blog:

They feature MIZUHO - another brand for hand-made Japanese brushes from Kumano area.

those brushes looks sooo pretty! Size wise how would you compare the r-p6 to other brushes like the mac 150? I have this one and its a little scratchy but i like its shape and that its denseI ordered a couple new Chikuhodos from now-eproject recently, and they came in a couple days ago!Terrible picture, but there you have it. The one on the left is the R-P6 powder brush, and the smaller one is the R-C2 cheek brush. Both are grey squirrel, and pretty dense so they're a lot firmer than, say, the Koyudo red squirrel brush. It's my first experience with Chikuhodo grey squirrel and I'm already in love. I imagine they're similar to the hairs in the Z series, but the price tag isn't quite so high.
Unfortunately I've never used the mac 150 so I'm not sure how it compares in size :-/ The r-p6 bristles are 52mm long and at the ferrule foot it's 24mm x 18mm. I have some comparison pictures of it (with the tarte foundation brush, chikuhodo passion powder brush and hakuhodo j104) here. It's fairly dense but since the bristles are so long it's pretty flexible - probably a lot more than the 150 is (based on pictures). It's incredibly soft so it works best with finishing powders.
Yeah, based on pics, MAC's 150 is nothing like the R-P6. Seems like the 150 has shorter bristles, for one thing.

It is! And I just double-checked, it is a Koyudo brush. I got sucked into two kabukis based purely on their cuteness, that one and the flower shaped powder and blush brush.

Okay, I just recently got introduced to the world of Japanese brushes and I dove right in.
I now have an army of Chikuhodo, Koyudo, and Hakuhodo brushes.
My FAVORITE from all three are:
Chikuhodo: MK-2, Takumi T-4 and T-6
Koyudo: White mushroom, bp013, bp018, fu-pa 14
Hakuhodo: J5522 and J5523
I also bought the red squirrel set from CDJapan and let me tell you, the blush brush it comes with is like air. It. Is. So. SOFT. I. JUST. CANNOT. UGH.
I have a lot more than those and more on the way but these are the ones that I'm just like AMG. And there's a few I bought because everyone seems to love but my first impressions weren't all that great. I felt a bit underwelmed. However, I haven't given these a shot but I'm sure after I use them, I'll really like them. Those that I'm talking about is the Koyudo canadian squirrel blush brush, the Koyudo fu-pa 07, and the Kashoen washing/cleansing brush.
But all in all... These blow my previous brushes out of the water. But I must say prior to these, I was strictly using Sigma + one or two Sonia Kashuk brushes. The only MAC brushes I had were the 217 and 239 which I still love~
