35th Annual All-Japan Pipe Smoking Competition and Pipe Show
Tokyo, Sunday, October 12
The Pipe Show (...concluded)
Shizuo Arita (Takeo's father)
I believe Arita-san calls this shape "Chestnut." I've never seen this pipe made as a stem-stander before, but given his playfulness, he may well have done so previously. |
One of Arita-san's most whimsical creations. I've seen photos of this shape before, but they didn't prepare me for just how "personable" a pipe it is. |
A "Lava" Pipe
A free-form "Vase" that is probably the wildest pipe I've yet seen from Arita-san. |
