Gotoh is a truly gifted pipe maker. Interested deeply in both the mechanics and engineering of his pipes and their aesthetics, his pipes demonstrate brilliance in both realms. Whether it is an interesting new means of arranging a tenon/mortise to make a particularly unusual form possible, or the graceful brilliance of many of his shapes, Gotoh is unquestionably a master of his art and craft. The pipe community should be excited about this carver. We are fortunate that after so many years he has returned to his proper calling.
