The history of Hagi ware
Although 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 Shakuko 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. 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 takes on color through use.
How to care for Hagi ware
Hagi-yaki pottery readily absorbs moisture. Before using the vessel, soak it in water each time to allow it to fully absorb water, which will help prevent it from absorbing cooking liquids and sauces. After use, ensure the piece is completely dry before storing.
Hagi ware
Hagi 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 pottery 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 pottery.
