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 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 enjoying the gradual changes as the crazing 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 absorb water thoroughly, which will make it less likely to absorb liquid from food. After use, please 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 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.
