Japanese Dual Flame Pipe-style Lighter

The Lowdown On Features

Every Kiribi lighter is hand-assembled in Japan, inspired by historical traditions.

Historical Significance The name "Mikazuki" refers to the waxing crescent moon and has been a subject of many haiku and senryu poems over the centuries. This lighter honors a time-honored Japanese practice, symbolizing blessings and protection.

Design and Functionality Designed for use with premium butane (not included), the Kiribi lighter features a flip-top cap and a ribbed flint striker wheel. The flame is adjustable and the flints are replaceable, ensuring long-lasting performance.

Durability and Construction The soft flame butane lighter is built with a durable polymer spring hinge and an angled flame design. The single tank holds a high butane capacity, and the sturdy construction is made from brass, steel, and nickel, making it both reliable and long-lasting.

Origins and Legends The origins of Kiribi trace back to the traditional Japanese practice of casting sparks upon a beloved traveler’s back, symbolizing fortune and protection. This practice is rooted in the famous 8th-century legend of Prince Yamatotakeru, whose aunt gifted him a firestone and striker, saving his life during perilous travels.
