Why? Japanese and Chinese have been written with a brush for
thousands of years. The "modern" fountain, ballpoint, and
fibertip pen are, so far, just a blip in history, boosted by
the dominance of the cultures that developed them, whose script
developed with linear strokes. If history had gone differently
we might now all be writing our English with cartridge-fill or
disposable brushes, except for the traditional calligraphers who
would be still using metal- or quill-pointed pens.
