The history of Hagi ware
While it is said that the pottery came to be commonly called Hagi-yaki after the Meiji period, the history of Hagi-yaki dates back to the early Edo period. In 慶長9 (1604), the official kiln established by Korean potters Lee Shakko and his younger brother Lee Kei under the command of Mori Terumoto, the founder of the Hagi domain, 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 enjoying the gradual changes 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 fully absorb water, which will prevent it from absorbing juices from food. After use, ensure it is completely dry before storing.
Hagi ware
Hagi ware 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 ware causes its appearance 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 ware.
