Satoshi Kosaka: WHALE

FREE International Shipping!

Satoshi’s “Whale” pipe is a testament to his exceptional design skills and an expression of his admiration for nature.

This shape was first created and displayed at the 2017 Tokyo Pipe Show. It was one of his most popular pipes on his table.

The pipe has an obvious straight ebonite stem leading to a tidy three-knuckle bamboo shank.

What makes the pipe look so exceptional is the magnificent arched bow that intersects the shank and bends to merge itself with the bowl.

The shank bridges through the arch and leads into the bowl’s chamber.

The silhouette, reminiscent of a graceful whale gliding through the water, captivates at first glance, while the ruler-straight vertical stripes on the side panels add an element of geometric elegance. The vivid Birdseye grain on the bottom base not only highlights the natural beauty of the material but also serves as a striking contrast to the overall design.

Such intricate details reflect the outstanding craftsmanship of a skilled artisan, whose dedication to their craft transforms this pipe into more than just an instrument for enjoyment; it becomes a captivating work of art that invites appreciation and admiration.
