The history of Hagi ware
While it is said that the pottery came to be commonly 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 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 these pieces is watching how the crazing gradually 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 make it less likely to absorb juices from food. Also, after use, please ensure it is completely dry before storing.
Hagi ware
Hagi-yaki pottery is produced in Hagi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. This is the castle town of the Mori family of the Choshu Domain, which gave birth to notable figures such as Yoshida Shoin and Takasugi Shinsaku.
The "crazing" that appears on the surface of Hagi-yaki allows the character to change the more it is used. These ever-changing expressions are called "Hagi no Nanabake" (Seven Transformations of Hagi) and represent one of the charms of Hagi-yaki pottery.
