In a medium bowl, combine the tuna, chives, sesame oil, soy sauce, vinegar, salt and pepper.  Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Mix the mayonnaise and chili paste in a small bowl, cover and refrigerate.

Using a mandolin, slice the cucumbers lengthwise as thinly as possible into approximately 5-inch lengths and then halve again lengthwise.  Place 1 heaping teaspoon of the tuna tartar on one end of the cucumber slice.  Roll up and secure with a toothpick if necessary.  Continue making rolls with remaining ingredients.  Let set in the frig for at least 15 minutes.

Snip a small hole in the corner of a re-sealable plastic bag and fill with the spicy mayonnaise.  Top each roll with a small dollop of the mayonnaise and a sprinkling of the toasted black sesame seeds.
