Mr Nagata only uses the best Mimmo briar for his pipes. He has the most unique designs on the market, you can take a look at some of the pipes he has made on this youtube(search MINORU NAGATA on Youtube).
He has been making pipes for over 30 years and selling his work to tobacco shops for the last 10 years.
Every pipe that he makes is different. I really don`t know of any other craftsman who has the courage and skill to do what he does.
Most artisans follow 3 or 4 model shapes. The pipes that I have on my shelf now are a good demonstration of this. The Dimple,Eggplant, Pomodoro, Flat Calla and  June Fish pipe are all very unique.
