The history of Hagi ware

Although it is said that the name "Hagi-yaki" came into general use from the Meiji period onward, the history of Hagi-yaki pottery dates back to the early Edo period. In Keichō 9 (1604), by order of Mōri Terumoto, the founder of the Hagi domain, Korean potters Ri Shakukō 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 makes the most of the natural 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 enjoying the gradual change as the crazing develops color over time.

Caring for Hagi ware

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

Hagi ware

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