The history of Hagi ware

Although it is said that the pottery came to be generally 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 command of Mori Terumoto, the founder of the Hagi domain, the official kiln established by Korean potters Yi Shakko and his younger brother Yi Kei is considered the beginning of Hagi-yaki.

Characteristics of Hagi ware

Hagi-yaki pottery is characterized by its soft texture that makes the most of the natural clay. After firing, as the temperature drops, the difference in shrinkage rates between the clay and glaze creates a crackled pattern called "crazing" on the surface. One of the pleasures of this pottery is watching how the crazing gradually takes on color through use over time.

Caring for Hagi ware

Hagi-yaki pottery easily absorbs moisture. Before using each piece, soak it in water and allow it to absorb water thoroughly, which will help prevent it from absorbing liquids from food. After use, please ensure the piece is completely dry before storing.

Hagi ware

Hagi pottery is produced in Hagi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. This is the castle town of the Choshu Domain and the Mori family, which gave birth to Yoshida Shoin, Takasugi Shinsaku, and other notable figures.
The "crazing" that appears on the surface of Hagi pottery causes the character to change the more it is used. These ever-changing expressions are called "Hagi no nanabake" (seven transformations of Hagi) and are part of the charm of Hagi pottery.
