The history of Hagi ware
While it is said that the general name "Hagi-yaki" came into use after the Meiji era, the history of Hagi pottery 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 Shakko and his younger brother Ri Kei established an official kiln, which 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 using these pieces is watching the gradual color changes that develop in the crazing 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 prevent it from absorbing liquids from food. After use, ensure the piece is completely dry before storing.
Hagi ware
Hagi-yaki 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-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), which is part of the charm of Hagi-yaki pottery.
