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 command of Mori Terumoto, the founder of the Hagi domain, Korean potters Ri Shakko and his younger brother Ri 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 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 watching how the crazing gradually takes on color through use.
How to care 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 liquids from food. After use, please ensure it is completely dry before storing.
Hagi ware
Hagi pottery originates from Hagi City in Yamaguchi Prefecture. This is the castle town of the Choshu Domain and the Mori family, which produced 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), which is one of the charms of Hagi pottery.
