How do you say "a brush-shop clerk" in Japanese? In Japanese would be how to translate "a brush-shop clerk" (an employee in an administrative position at a small store that sells all kinds of brushes [probably hair brushes and paint brushes, not only calligraphy supplies])? Is a normal translation for a clerk? Thank you for any help you can provide.

"{}{}" usually means "receptionist."

And we usually say "{}{}" for general (= not necessarily administrative) "shop clerk."

While "" makes sense to mean "brush shop" as in -> arimahude.com, many Japanese brush shops seem to prefer calling themselves "{}{}{}{}" as in -> fudeya-shop.comor , or more fancy(?) " " and the like, as in -> kumanofude-selectshop.com .
