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 order of Mori Terumoto, the founder of the Hagi domain, the official kiln established by Korean potters Ri Shakko and his younger brother Ri Kei is considered to be 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. Also, 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 color changes that develop in the crazing over time.
How to care for Hagi ware
Hagi pottery easily absorbs moisture. Before using the vessel, soak it in water each time to 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 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 Yoshida Shoin and Takasugi Shinsaku.
The "crazing" that appears on the surface of Hagi pottery causes the texture to change as it is used over time. This ever-changing expression is called "Hagi no Nanabake" (The Seven Transformations of Hagi) and is one of the charms of Hagi pottery.
