▶Craftsman Profile
Chiaki Aikawa / Aikawa Engraving Studio
Chiaki Aikawa's main products are accessories and Kiseru. Since the technique cannot be mass-produced by machines, each item is carefully crafted one by one.
I also specialize in a technique called Mokume-Gane, in which different metals are layered and melted together to create a pattern by repeatedly beating and carving.
▶Craftsman Passion
"For smokers around the world"
I produce smoking pipes for smokers all over the world to enhance the taste of their cigarettes.
I would like to share the chic Japanese smoking culture with the world with my smoking pipes made with traditional techniques. Please enjoy the beauty of the slowly rising smoke!
Please enjoy watching the Japanese craftsmanship!!!!

Product Name: Pure Silver Twisted Kiseru Smoking Pipe / Hassun
Discription: This is a sterling silver reinsmith style smoking pipe with a motif of a yokozuna's (Yokozuna is the highest rank of sumo wrestler / Champion) ornamental mawashi (Mawashi is the loincloth that sumo wrestlers wear) and a temple rope.
The shape is one of the most historic and prestigious of all smoking pipes / Kiseru.
It is made by a traditional Japanese technique of hammered out from a single sheet of plate with a chisel and hammer.
The final pipe looks nothing like the one the craftsmen made.
Was thinking it would be around that much. A lot of work, amazing design and skill.
Pencil eraser metal and pen cap lol
Dude, 1,600? That's absolutely not worth that, not even if it was pressed by the hands of the Lord himself.
@@rabbithedragonsome people appreciate craftsmanship..
Beautiful work. As a leathercrafter, it never ceases to amaze me how many techniques are similar between crafting mediums, and how much is very different. The "sanding" at the end was a beautifully simple technique that I would have never thought of!
That was unreal. Wasn't really sure where it was going towards the end, but the final reveal blew my mind. Clever way for sandblasting the surface.
It sand blew my mind a bit. 😮
Thank you for your comment !
GOOD 👍 JOB ❤
This man put his Soul into making this. Amazing artistry and craftsmanship!
An absolute work of functional art. I was completely mesmerized. Thank you.
I've always had mad respect for Japanese craftsmanship.
Wonderful craftsmanship
I absolutely love the old fashioned way of creating with our hands that which we can. Great job
Thank you very much!
I almost cried at the final reveal. Beautiful craftsmanship
I got misty too...
Thank you for the comment !
Despite all the effort to finish and polish it, I preferred it in it's more raw, hand-hammered appearance. You could see the amount of human effort that had gone into making it.
Ironically, all that work and by the end it was so perfect it looked like it had been made by machine!
Thank you for your comment !
That’s why I assumed
He was hand hammering. For the finish. I mean he had the heat, wasn’t cold forged. Maybe he doesn’t own a roller.
昔の人もこうやって作っていたのかな。
感慨深いものがありますね。
この技術は後世に残してほしい。
素晴らしいです。
ご視聴、コメントありがとうございます！
I wondered the same thing. Were people smoking this style of pipe before tobacco came to Japan?
Before WW2 a fair amount of Japanese farmers smoked the uhh buds of female 'hemp' plants, but it's not widely known @@tstodgell

タバコの伝来と共にパイプが伝わり、このキセル、パイプを使用した喫煙が用いられましたよ
Im totally blown away at the skill and patience of this craftsman. He is truly a master!!!
I like his anvil setup. What an awesome craftsman.
A master class from a craftsman 😊
A lifetime of skill and knowledge, pure craftsmanship ❤️👍
Gorgeous. Phenomenal craftsmanship, real passion, and heart put into creating this piece.
Thank you for the comment !
Soviel arbeit , nur um schluss endlich dann doch den wartungs berreich zu vergessen 😀
also ich hab schon einige pfeiffen in meinem leben geraucht und hab mich immer geärgert das die teile schneller verstopfen als einem lieb ist .......
Soviel arbeit in so ein schönes stück das im besten falle nur für das regal gemacht wurde ......
den rauchen kann man die nicht ohne sie permanent zu verstopfen ......
aber die handwerksarbeit selbst ,,erste klasse"
Oh my ! What a piece. The rhythm of the hammers, the attention to detail, and an absolutely stunning end result.
This is the quintessence of luxury: Mystifying and complicating the production of an object to such an extent that this object is sold for extremely high amounts of money, even though one could make this object in just a few minutes... 🤪⚡
Hats off to this guys neighbors.
Simplemente gracias por tan bello poema creado con sus manos.
This is what I love about Japanese culture. Everything they have ever done is done with patience, precision, and masterful skill. For the world I hope they and all with these skills and traditions stay alive forever.
Even what they did in Manchuria?
@@benwilms3942 especially what they did in Manchuria
@annihilation777 boom. You have a point I suppose.
I didn't even knew that something like that exists. Thank you for the very interesting documentations about Japanese craftmanship.
Wow. Beautiful. Amazing stopwatch
Thank you
That's freaking amazing result. All that craftsmanship 😳
Unbelievable handmade item!
Respect 🫡
Thank you very much!
すばらしい技術です！
Impressive. Beautiful craftsmanship.
I don't quite understand why he used so much cold hammering. Wouldn't it have been easier to heat up?
Or also, why not just pour the initial smelt into a flatter, longer mold closer to the finished product of all that hammering. I'm sure the answer is that the hammering does something very special to it, same with the heat vs cold.
I'd say it's likely a matter of tradition and a process handed down via ancestry. Some people work for efficiency but, some people work because the art compels them to.
This is very delicate work. He is really pushing plastic deformation to it's limits.
Silver is pretty soft, i guess it just doesn’t need it.
Certain metals, like silver and brass, harden as you work them. The heating and quenching is to make the ingot more malleable.
Silver hot work is generally just casting and soldering.
Thank you for sharing your craft with the world. I love the way you frosted the surface at the end.
Thanks so much 😊
Thank you for making this video
Sou fã de artesanato,esse é perfeito!!!
Really cool. It’s so good to see masters in their craft. The world we live in has gotten away from that kind of thing so much. Everyone wants mass production but I think some of us are slowly realizing that we need these craftsmanship. Thanks for showing us
Not so, I am 57 and after a severe work injury offshore I now make jewellery. I smelt my own metal and work in gold and silver. With the utmost respect most competent smiths could produce this pipe. It's never too late to learn a skill/skills.👍🏴
Thank You for your comment ! Glad you liked the video !
You truly are a great craftsman
Thank you for sharing your work with us
Thank you very much!
È stato davvero emozionante vedere tutta la preparazione e la realizzazione con una maestria davvero eccezionale e davvero tanto amore. Non so quanto tempo hai impiegato ma hai fatto nascere dalle tue mani un autentico capolavoro. Ti sei creato anche tutti gli attrezzi e in pochi metri quadri di spazio come laboratorio tutto a misura tua non posso che dire che sei un grande maestro. Complimenti davvero. Italian linguage
Grazie per il tuo commento! Mi fa piacere che il video ti sia piaciuto!
Absolutely mezmorizing. Beautiful piece.
Watching him hammer that made me flinch so bad, the pure precision and art of this man
Can you imagine how many times through our his career has he smashed his thumb or index finger?? Omg! That's a painful craft lol.
Seen a lot of pipes like this , used for smoking opium. Very pretty work
Opium pipes look very different
From Germany ich habe gesehen was sie da gezaubert haben es ist eine echt wunderschöne rauchpfeife geworden diese Eleganz Präzision Verarbeitung ist echt auf einem so extrem hohen eleganten Niveau das ist echt spannend war in bei dem Video zuzuschauen einfach nur Spitzenklasse mit vollstem Respekt und Ehrfurcht danke sehr
Increíble producción!! Un vídeo verdaderamente mañoso una maravilla
Another video that shows your dedication and skills, congratulations on your work.
Thank you so much!!!!
Thats the 2nd finest crack pipe i’ve ever seen
Ein absoluter Meister in seinem Handwerk. Ein Prachtstück und so professionell jeder Schritt
Great Craftsmanship.❤
He's really making it in the traditional sense as I would just use my rolling mill to flatten and stretch the silver.
Amd couldnt he have just started with a longer, shallower mould so he wouldnt have to beat it as much ?
Anyone else on the edge of your seat hoping he don't hit his fingers?
Nah, u could tell he’s swung that hammer a few million times at least; he got it
The label 'Master' is only achieved when you reached 10M hammer strikes since your last smashed finger...
Lol
No, it happens only to noobs like me 😅
WoW beautiful pipe, and real traditional hardworking artist master!!!
Thank you so much!!!!
what a profoundly beautiful process and end result. I don't smoke but one day I have to get my hands on one of these.
Good
Great museum piece. I wonder how much quicker this can be achieved by just moving from tradition a tiny bit.
A lot quicker but it loses its "soul" then.
The Amish sell ridiculously over priced "handmade" furniture to tourists on the side of the road. You can clearly see the burned saw cuts and they don't even bother to sand it. Meanwhile this guy makes a masterpiece and its actually by hand. Beautiful.
@waltersobchak9427 burn marks can easily be made by dull hand tools, waterwheel mill saws, mills powered by livestock. Assuming tool burn marks= Amish grift is a bit of a stretch lol
@@waltersobchak9427I've seen em with cartfuls of Smucker's jelly at the Walmart 😂. Add a few berries and BAM! Amish Jam
No complaints here! I love the finished product!
Thank you so much !!!
hermosos trabajo
saludos desde argentina
Such a fine balance of heat for welding the seams without making the part a puddle of metal, most impressive. Is the solder the same alloy of metal as the rest of the pipe, if so I would expect a extra challenge to get just the right amount of heat to flow the solder without melting the part.
its an alloy. mix one part silver and one part brass, the alloy melts at a much lower temperature. if one wishes they can elevate the temperature of the solder by burning off some of the zinc during the mixing.
なんど自分の指を叩いちゃったことだろう
Beautiful work.❤
Beautiful work, master craftsman. 😍
Thank you very much!
It is to me an opiumpipe not a tabacco pipe.
Either way it makes me wanna take up smoking.
Traditionally the Japanese the tobacco culture in Japan was to smoke tiny quantities, possibly a reflection on the expense: "Apparently it was mostly economics. Shogunate set a high tariff on tobacco, so they bought less and made smaller pipes. And of course you need very small tobacco for your very small pipe."
Do you smoke opium?
I know how much the arms ache after all that hammering. It's not just the hammering, it's the difference in the strokes. If you want to stretch and bend that metal cold, you're in for a cramping multiday workout. It takes real commitment to do something like this. And that's just once.
Thank you for your comment !
You are a great artist, bravo 😊
Just give me a water bottle, pen, 10mm socket, and some chewing gum.😂
Damn, is that where the 10 mil always goes? 😂
Just give me a soda can and a needle.
Alright get me a toilet paper roll, a corkscrew, and some tinfoil....alright then get me an avocado, an ice pick, and my snorkel.
Give me an apple and a stick
Safer than smoking from fucking silver!
Prawdziwe arcydzieło.
Beautiful. And it’s silver. I like silver. It’s my favorite color.
In the past, a man would toil his life away, mastering a skill or craft , never really knowing if anyone truelly appreciated their art . Today , masters of various unseen crafts are able to be seen by the world and appreciated. It is a small but meaningful improvement.
If he were to use a shallower mold when he cast the billet, he would have saved a lot of time and energy.
😮я вообще не курю, но с такой красоты покурила бы)) это прекрасное и идеальное изделие❤
Класс 👏 Удачи и всего хорошего мастеру
Amazing work
Truly, an inspiration. Great craftsmanship :)
Thank you very much!
素晴らしい👍
At first i was going crazy by the sound of the hammer. Then by the middle of it i was in a trance 😆 it was weirdly therapeutic. I feel very relaxed now. Great vid ❤
Thank you !
Magnífico! 👏👏👏👏👏
I almost couldn't watch when he was heating the seam billets at the 5th Process. That takes nerves of steel putting a torch to silver after so much work put into it. Bravo to the craftsman!
Thank you for your comment !
I wish there was a channel dedicated to teaching the different crafts. I know in japan some of the cloisonne recipes have been lost due to the secrative nature of craftsmen in general. It is beautiful to watch these crafts but more interesting to take up as a hobby.
Amazing to watch. Now to watch it all
Craftsman at his finest 🤙
I have never seen satin finished done that way, I am amazed that works so well
i love the way the finnish is made, so simple and effective!
everyting else is ofc also lovely to watch.
Thank you for your comment !
Absolutely stunning. Gorgeous
It's like the Japanese swords of pipe making!
Beautiful work greeting from Switzerland
日本の職人技は素晴らしいですね❤
ご視聴ありがとうございます！
The satin finish was a fantastic finishing touch!
Thank you! Cheers!
I just use a 1L glass bottle, gauze and a socket, oh and a pail of h20.
This is outstanding craftmanship.
Félicitations de France ! ✌️
ストレッチバイス以外は本当に見事でした
Complimenti per il lavoro meraviglioso realizzato .Tanti sinceri Auguri per una vita lunga e serena .Nonno Roberto . Ciao dalla Toscana Italia.

Grazie per il tuo commento!
Japanese craftsmen sure are something else. All handmade, no machinery in site. I sure hope these items sell at the price he wants.
Nice! I watched a old very bad video from years ago on a master craftsman making a Kiseru from scratch. but the video quality of course was bad.
Thank you for uploading this!
Glad it was helpful!
I would love to send you a few Kg of .999 silver I recovered from scrap, to make a solid silver fighting pipe (Kenka Kiseru). Interested? @@Craftsmanship-Process
Wow, that was incredible.
This is incredible work.
whoa, really beautiful piece
Thank you very much!
Amazing craftsmanship!
Thank you !!!
Please don't take offense, I don't know about this craft so I have a few questions. Wouldn't it be easier to make the mold flatter and longer so you don't have to hammer it to that? And after heating it to soften, why quench it? Wouldn't quenching it make it hard again?
la verdad es un trabajo excelente , me gusta la terminación .
cualquiera pensaría que solo es usar la laminadora pero hay cosas que quedan mejor de la manera que lo hizo ese artesano .
Spectacular 👍👍👍👍
You're an artist...
It's really unbelievable...
Thank you so much 😀
Such talent and a job well done! 😊
Why would he start with such a large ingot? Great craftsmanship and patience.
looks nice and the sanding process is genius. but half the work seems not buying a sheet and melting and hammering the metal...
He doesn't apply glue, it is flux that helps with the soldering process
