Not long after I moved to Niigata City I heard from my Tobacconist that there was another pipe maker in Niigata as well. Intrigued by this information I was keen to meet up with a fellow pipe maker and that's how I came to meet Kenichiro Sakurai. Since meeting him in 2005 I have been amazed by his pipe making skills. His advancement in pipe making is due to his fantastic imagination and his background as a Graphic artist. His pipes feature many unique features such as ivory rings, silver and super fine hand cravings which produce a unique rustication effect. | Not long after I moved to Niigata City I heard from my Tobacconist that there was another pipe maker in Niigata as well.
