A traditional Japanese smoking pipe, kiseru, embodies the refined aesthetic of “iki” — a uniquely Japanese sense of understated elegance.
The bamboo stem of the kiseru has a Shunkei lacquer finish.
The metal fittings are made of nickel, intricately engraved with a arabesque pattern.
With its slender, small mouthpiece, it is recommended for women.
Smoking with a kiseru is less about volume and more about appreciating the delicate aroma of the smoke itself.
Traditionally, tobacco is lit using charcoal embers from a tabako-bon (tobacco tray), allowing the smoke to remain pure, without the added scent of an open flame.
Kizami tobacco “Koiki” is not available for purchase on our website. If you wish to obtain it, please purchase it from a tobacco specialty shop.
For customers overseas, finely cut loose-leaf tobacco such as shag tobacco may be used as a substitute.
