Topic: Kiseru


  
  Asa no e: Kiseru
Japanese kiseru pipes have a much smaller bowl than Western tobacco pipes.
Though some North Americans assume kiseru to be only usable for opium or hashish smoking, they are in fact very suitable for marijuana and use it very efficiently.
Kiseru were also used for tobacco, of course, though not originally in Cambodia.

Another distinct trait of a kiseru is that the bowl is typically much smaller than it is in a western smoking pipe.

 SaruDama: Kiseru - The Traditional Japanese Pipe - kiseru   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The term "kiseru" is said to have come (according to my SanSeido Dictionary) from the term "ksher" of the Khmer language of Cambodia.
Kiseru are almost always comprised of a tube of bamboo (or some other wood) capped by a small stem and bowl made of either silver or bronze.

Kiseru: we don't have this at all, but it's fun.
Kiseru is the old fashioned Japanese pipe, used from Edo times.
I'll just add that I assumed, when I first came to Japan, that kiseru-ing was an accepted part of the system because, well, hell, how could you prevent it? I had a prof at Japanese school, Sanada-sensei, an older man who viewed life a tad sardonically.

 The Mystical Website of Goemon
The Kiseru that Goemon wields in the series was a common weapon among Japanese gangsters and theives.
It was favored due to the fact that, while it was a compact and formidible weapon, it was a perfectly usable smoking pipe, and could therefore be taken anywhere the malcontent wished.
As with the Kiseru, it is easy to imagine Goemon improvising a missile out of some of the Koban he stole.

 How To Stop Smoking Advice: Instant Stores
Read all about How To Stop Smoking Advice: The classic Japanese kiseru, or long-stemmed,small-bowled pipe that remained in use until the late nineteenth century, is thought to have been derived from European clay pipes of the Age of Discovery, as well as from southeast Asian smoked paraphernalia.
Some kiseru were made of substances such as ceramics or bamboo.
For example,Edo-period baccy pouches could trace their ancestry from common, ordinary flint-and-steel pouch forms that had been a part of daily life for centuries before, while the first baccy trays were apparently no more than recycled versions of trays designed to hold incense- burning implements.

 Japanese forms of smoking accessories
Kiseru pipes Kiseru pipes (Edo period) As tobacco-shredding techniques became more refined, pipe-bowls gyew smaller, and pipe-stems were shortened, resulting in a more readily portable pipe form.
Metal fittings were often decorated with engraving, while the embellishment of pipe-stems with lacquer-painting further enhanced the value of kiseru pipes as personal accessories.
While standard kiseru had bamboo stems garnished with metal bowls and mouth-pieces, some more extra-vagant kiseru were made entirely of metal.

The kiseru is a Japanese-style tobacco pipe, but the etymology goes back to the word "khsier" which means tube in Cambodian.
It has three parts, the bowl where the tobacco is placed, the tube for smoke, and the mouth piece.
In the Taisho period, the demand for paper wrapped tobacco increased, and the kiseru has become almost extinct.

They were used throughout the Edo period (1600-1867), and for some years into the modern period, so I can't be sure of how old it is, but it is certainly pretty old, between 80 and 280 years I would guess.
It was probably dropped by a woodsman or trader, or just a traveler making his or her way across the mountainst.

 Giving Up the Gun, By Victor Milan
To be sure, kiseru tended to be a foot and a half to three feet long, made out of a heavy gauge of metal, and to have handguards like a sword, but they were tobacco pipes withal.
Indeed, it failed of its fundamental purpose almost at once; his loyal lieutenant Iyeyasu betrayed him before his corpse got cold, murdering Hideyoshi's heir, whom he had sworn to support, and eradicating his supporters.
When they got around to banning tobacco pipes -- when kiseru are outlawed, only outlaws will have kiseru -- swords came back.
