Kiseru
Kiseru is a Japanese smoking pipe traditionally used for smoking kizami, a finely shredded tobacco product resembling human hair. The word kiseru comes from the Khmer word "ksher". Typically the mouth piece and bowl are made from metal, with a tubular shaft of wood or bamboo stretching in between. The bowl is much smaller than that of western-style pipes. Because each kiseru is basically a rod with metal ends, extremely long kiseru could be carried as weapons, especially by the gangster-like kabukimono samurai of Edo period Japan. Many kiseru have been engraved with elaborate details by skilled artisans and were a status symbol for the owner. Tobacco was known in Japan since the 1570s at the earliest. By the early 17th century, kiseru had become popular enough to even be mentioned in some Buddhist textbooks for children. The kiseru evolved along with the equipment and use of incense associated with the Kōdō: ⁕The kō-bon, an incense tray, became the tabako-bon, a tobacco tray ⁕the incense burner evolved into a charcoal fire pot for lighting tobacco with hot air ⁕The incense pot became a jar to contain the ash. During a smoking session, the smoker would put a ball of stringy kizami tobacco in the bowl, light it at the charcoal fire, then dump the ash into the ash container.
