She has been producing handmade pipes of a high level, showing her sense of style from her study of modeling and sculpture at an art college. The Ikebana series by Asami Kikuchi is lustrous, delicate, and bold, as only a woman can be. These pipes are highly acclaimed and increasingly popular in Europe and the United States.
