Each piece is hand-carved with ridged patterns.
This is a work where you can enjoy the unique texture that only handmade pieces can offer.
One of the characteristics of Hagi-yaki rice bowls is that rice grains are less likely to stick to them.
※Since each piece is handmade, the size and expression of the vessels may vary slightly. Please understand this before placing your order.
The history of Hagi ware
While it is said that the pottery came to be generally called Hagi-yaki from the Meiji period onward, the history of Hagi-yaki dates back to the early Edo period. In Keichō 9 (1604), by order of Mōri Terumoto, the founder of the Hagi domain, Korean potters Yi Shakukō and his younger brother Yi Kei established an official kiln, which is considered 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 joys of using Hagi pottery is watching how the crazing gradually takes on color over time.
Caring for Hagi ware
Hagi pottery readily 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 liquid from food. After use, ensure the pottery is completely dry before storing.
Hagi ware
Hagi pottery is produced in Hagi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. It 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 pottery causes its character to change the more it is used. These ever-changing expressions are called "Hagi no Nanabake" (the seven transformations of Hagi) and are one of the charms of Hagi pottery.
