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 Keicho 9 (1604), by 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 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.
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 make it less likely to absorb juices from food. After use, please ensure it is completely dry before storing.
Hagi ware
Hagi-yaki pottery originates from Hagi City in Yamaguchi Prefecture. This is the castle town of the Choshu Domain and the Mori family, which produced notable figures such as Yoshida Shoin and Takasugi Shinsaku.
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.
