Nickel kiseru wild grass carving “Sekishu” / no.0965

An item that symbolizes the Japanese "iki" culture

This is one of the most common shapes and is said to have been favored by the tea master Sekishu. The gooseneck and mouthpiece are made of brass plated with nickel, and wild plants are carved into them to create a contrast in color with the brass.

In Japan, from the Edo period to the early Showa period, the most common smoking accessory was the "kiseru" (tobacco pipe).
In the Edo period, kiseru was one of the few luxury items people enjoyed, and it was widely used in casual social situations, such as when people enjoyed conversation while smoking it during breaks from work, and was used as a way to show hospitality to visitors.

They admire it as a tool and enjoy conversation while smoking a cigarette.
Even today, many people are attracted to it as a symbol of Japanese "iki" culture due to its history and the beauty of its craftsmanship, and there are many enthusiasts.

Fill the bowl with chopped tobacco, shape it with your hands, and light it.
Sometimes, you need to take care of it to make it taste better.
Although it may not be as casual as a cigarette,
Take your time and enjoy the taste and aroma.
Kiseru has always been a luxury item for adults.

Please note that since natural materials are used, there may be slight individual differences in the products.
