The history of Hagi ware
While 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), the official kiln established by Korean potters Ri Shakko and his younger brother Ri 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, differences in shrinkage rates between the clay and glaze create a crackled pattern called "crazing" on the surface. 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 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-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 appeal of Hagi-yaki pottery.
