The unique beauty of wood-grain forged from four metals. Up close with master craftsmanship and the making process of a Mokumegane Kiseru on YouTube.
The “Kiseru” is a traditional Japanese smoking pipe cherished since the Edo period as a true symbol of chic sophistication.
We have officially released our latest video on our official YouTube channel, capturing the sacred creation process of a rare, all-metal Kiseru. It is forged by layering four distinct metals—silver, copper, Shibuichi, and Shakudo—using “Mokumegane,” an advanced metalworking technique passed down since ancient times.
Discover this one-of-a-kind masterpiece, born through repeated heating, meticulous hammering, and precise hand-carving to reveal an extraordinary wood-grain pattern and the pinnacle of artisan skill.
We look forward to your likes and comments!
