Japanese Kiseru Pipe (Nickel) – Suisen Style Straight Smoking Pipe / no.3482

A traditional Japanese smoking pipe, kiseru, embodies the refined aesthetic of “iki” — a uniquely Japanese sense of understated elegance.

This design features a straight, unadorned mouthpiece with minimal decoration.
Its clean and graceful form is inspired by the dignified presence of the narcissus (suisen).

The bamboo stem is crafted using bekko-dake (tortoiseshell-pattern bamboo), created by carefully applying heat to form its distinctive pattern.
Named for its resemblance to tortoiseshell, this technique gives the bamboo a rich and refined character.

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.
