This smoking set, with its handle, is conveniently portable. The rosewood base has chrysanthemum motifs applied in maki-e. The hiire, a container for lit charcoal, to light the kiseru pipe, is inset into the top, and drawers have been provided inside. An ash receptacle, for disposing of ashes, is built into the lower level of the right side. A kiseru could be hung in the hollowed-out area on the top of the side panel.(Paragon or Puzzle?
