A kuripe pipe is a small, handheld instrument traditionally crafted from bamboo. It features a distinctive V-shaped or angled design that allows breath to be directed with precision and control, typically used to apply hapé or rapé.
Kuripe pipes are often finely made, with attention to balance, form, and tactile quality. Their compact size makes them easy to hold, while the angled structure reflects traditional craftsmanship and functional design.
Today, kuripe pipes are appreciated for their aesthetic value, cultural heritage, and use within sound‑based or ritual music settings. Each piece is unique, often reflecting the materials, craftsmanship, and artistic expression of its maker.
