The Celestial Brush is Amaterasu's main tool. Without it she cannot save the land of Nippon from evil. She uses it as a Weapon, a means for solving puzzles and even uses it to revive nature to cursed lands.
The Celestial Brush was named after a poem wrote Issun's Grandfather, Ishaku. Amaterasu needs to learn all the other 12 Brush Techniques from the other Brush Gods, she already knows one and the is Sunrise.

[edit] Use
Essentially the Celestial Brush is Amaterasu's tail dipped in ink. She needs this ink to use the brush, the ink is stored in Ink Pots and the level of remaining can be seen on screen. If Amaterasu runs out of ink her divine markings will disappear, she will not be able to use the Celestial Brush and her Divine Instrument disappear. The ink will regenerate itself at the speed of one pot per nine seconds unless you have the Golden Ink Pot equipped.
The screen for drawing with the Celestial Brush can be brought up by pressing the R2 or B button in the Wii Version. You can then draw the required stroke. Even simple dotting with the Celestial Brush can have major effects, it may cause temporary flora to sprout, if used on enemies they will become covered in ink and certain weapons even allow an attack called Ink Bullets to be used. The Holy Artifact Thief's Glove also uses the Celestial Brush to work. Amaterasu needs to draw a line between Issun and a Demon so that he can attack it and perhaps steal a Treasure.
[edit] Holy Smoke
Holy Smoke is the name given to the wispy ink that emanates from the bottom of the Celestial Brush, it signals that a certain Celestial Brush Technique can be used there. Not all techniques have a coloured Holy Smoke however and it does not inform you when a Secret Brush Technique should be used.

[edit] Trivia
- Amaterasu has to use her Celestial Brush several times to simply draw pictures. Such as drawing a pattern on an Imp mask in Moon Cave and designing kimonos in Mr. Chic's shop.
- Amaterasu is not the only character to have a Celestial Brush, Issun, Shiranui and even Ninetails have one.
- Both Ninetails and Shiranui draw on your brush pad. During the fight with Ninetails he will use it too attack you. Shiranui on the other hand will use it to help you during the fight with Lechku and Nechku.
- During the final fight with Yami he will strip away all Amaterasu's Brush Techniques and she will need to win them back on by one.
