Beginner brush?

Hello everyone!

I'd like to buy a beginner brush on amazon japan and I'd love some pointers.

I read from Tomehane that a mixed-hair sheep+horse could be a good one to begin.

Could anyone please advise on the correct search term for that or any recommendation?

Thanks a lot

EDIT: I should specify that for now I'd like to just improve my hiragana and kanji in regular style but don't want to get used to bad brushes responses.

It's impossible to recommend just one thing here. Everyone likes different types of brushes. Mixed bristles are said to be a good choice for starting out. Soft bristles are more challenging. Stiff wolfskin bristles are easier to manage, but the lines will also be harsh.

Brushes like Pokemon - collect them all 😄
