Hello. I’m new here - from The States and living in Osaka for many years. I smoked pipes for a few years, quit, sold all my beautiful pipes and now recently started again (with much less money for pipes now that I’m married with kids). I’m looking forward to chatting, learning, posting, etc. Recently, I’ve been acquiring some old pipes on auction here in Japan and trying to learn about restoration. Thanks!

Welcome to the forum!
When you are in Tokyo, check out Nomura, a very nice and well stocked tobacconist with hundreds of pipes of every description.

Nomura In Tokyo :: Pipe Tobacconists - B&M's and Internet Retailers
My son is in Tokyo and a friend asked me if he could find a particular tobacco blend that is only available in Japan. So I sent him to Nomura, where he found what I’d been asked to find. As long as he was in the shop I asked to him to take a couple of pictures, which I thought might be of interest.

can we come and visit? We can sleep in a cupboard and barely but super politely interact with your family. Hey at least selling your pipes is better then the guy who lost his pipes in the divorce.
That looks like a great place and, as far as I know, there’s nothing quite as nice as that here in Osaka. Not quite. This mights sound silly but I’ve lived in Japan for 16 years and never been to Tokyo. I guess whenever I had time, I have always used it traveling around Asia. Well, that’s my excuse anyway.
I’ve heard of rough divorces before but that’s going too far! Um, I don’t think you could survive a night with my boys, aged 3 and 5. I’m an “old” dad at 54 BTW. I don’t know how I’m doing it. I guess it’s keeping me young.

I love the Japanese aesthetic approach to all aspects of their crafts, including pipe making.

Happy smokes from Northern Germany and welcome to this fine forum. 
Welcome from Maryland! Those are the ages of my boys too. It’s exhausting sometimes but worth it.
Welcome from Pennsylvania and New York. I hope to visit Japan someday. There’s so much there that interests me (food, culture, cinema, audio, etc.)
