Fujima sounds Japanese... Is it perhaps just marked Italian briar? Either way sounds like a relatively new product. I hope it smokes well for you. That's really all that matters in the long run. but new pipes from dealers and known estates can be had for $40 if you're not willing to take a chance on it. Even just check out the buy/sell/trade section here. Welcome to the forums.

Fujima is a Chinese company associated with some of the horrible corn cobs. Run away from this pipe fast. Nominally, some of these companies are importing and reselling cheaper Italian briar and/or finished pipes but I wouldn't trust it. On top of that, $40 isn't an insignificant purchase on ebay and can buy alot of nice pipes.
