This free-hand Rhodesian takes its inspiration in the woodblock print "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" by Japanese Ukiyo-e artist Hokusai.
It's muscular yet fluid - like water - shape makes it easy to carry around and clench, and provides a solid canvas for the stainless steel inlays on the top, and asymmetric lines on the shank.
The ocean blue acrylic stem sports an unfiltered delrin tenon and the slight curve mimics the natural flow of a rolling wave.
The plateau briar offers a beautiful flame grain also showcasing the movement of a breaking wave.
Overall, this pipe symbolises the Umibōzu - a mythical sea creature in Japanese folklore
