This is a rice bowl with a subdued color palette.
Each piece is hand-faceted one by one, allowing you to enjoy the unique character that only handcrafted items can offer.
One of the distinctive features of Hagi-yaki rice bowls is that rice grains don't stick easily to them, making them very practical to use.
Available in two colors: "青萩釉" and "粉引紫".
※Since each piece is handmade individually, the size and expression of each bowl may vary slightly. Please understand this before placing your order.
The history of Hagi ware
While it is said that the pottery came to be commonly called Hagi-yaki from the Meiji period onward, the history of Hagi-yaki dates back to the early Edo period. In Keicho 9 (1604), by the order of Mori Terumoto, the founder of the Hagi domain, Korean potters Ri Shakuko and his younger brother Ri Kei established an official kiln, which is considered the beginning of Hagi-yaki.
Characteristics of Hagi ware
Hagi pottery is characterized by its soft texture that brings out the natural qualities of the clay. Additionally, as the temperature drops after firing, cracks called "crazing" appear on the surface due to the difference in shrinkage rates between the clay and glaze. One of the pleasures of using Hagi pottery is watching how the crazing gradually develops color over time with use.
How to care for Hagi ware
Hagi-yaki pottery easily absorbs moisture. Before using each piece, soak it in water to allow it to fully absorb water, which will prevent it from absorbing liquids from food. After use, please ensure the piece is completely dry before storing it.
Hagi ware
Hagi pottery is produced in Hagi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. This is the castle town of the Mori family of the Choshu Domain, which gave birth to Yoshida Shoin and Takasugi Shinsaku.
The "crazing" that appears on the surface of Hagi pottery causes the texture to change the more it is used. This ever-changing expression is called "Hagi no Nanabake" (Seven Transformations of Hagi) and is part of the charm of Hagi pottery.
