A kiseru pipe is a traditional Japanese smoking pipe used for smoking finely shredded tobacco called kizami. The kiseru pipe typically consists of a small metal bowl (for holding the tobacco), a long slender shaft made of metal, bamboo, or wood, and a mouthpiece. Kiseru pipes have been used in Japan since the 16th century and became particularly popular during the Edo period (1603-1868). They were often ornately designed, with intricate patterns and decorative elements, making them not only functional items but also works of art and symbols of status.
