This brush series is excellent value for kakishibuzome saikoho. The round powder brush is my favourite of the series, but this blush brush is a close second. It's a fluffy paddle shape, so if you like to apply your blush in back and forth sweeping motions, this is a great brush for that. Turned sideways, it's excellent for applying contour in the hollows of your cheeks. I love how the persimmon dye makes it so these brushes don't look dirty. This isn't considered a premium handle, but I adore the cherrywood combined with the black ferrule and kakishibuzome bristles. Such a pretty combo.

Makeup Brush
This is my favorite cheek brush in terms of aesthetics and functionality. I love the look of the persimmon-dyed bristles and cherry wood handles, it's just a stunning combination. The bristles are super soft and the size and round-flat shape makes it really easy and lovely to apply blush where you want it and slowly build up. I know the KSZ series is not considered premium by fude collectors but I think it's just stunning.
I purchased Ksz-02 & Ksz-03. To be honest, I don't feel very good when using Ksz-02 for the first time. I even felt a bit of prick when used it on my face. But when I used Ksz-03 for the first time, the experience is different from using Ksz-02. The bristle is soft, and it does apply the blush very smooth and pigment. So I will recommand that this brush should match with not so pigment blush which will be better.
Lovely brush for blush application, picks up product really well and applies smoothly. Don’t need a lot of work or pro expertise. I love this brush for blush. Love the wood handle and the permission dyed tips. Never looks dirty. Love this brush!
Beautiful brush. The gradient dye is stunning and it feels so luxurious in my hand. It's a versatile cheek brush, just dense enough to pick up product but airy enough to diffuse easily. I particularly love it for targeted bronzer application.
I love this brush for all my blushes. It’s the perfect size and soft and just easy to use. Highly recommend.
This is an airy Brush and when used to dab on product, it gives a fast and diffused natural application. I have used this for Blush and bronzer.
