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 Keichō 9 (1604), under the command of Mōri Terumoto, the founder of the Hagi domain, Korean potters Ri Shakukō 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 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 these pieces is watching the gradual color changes that occur in the crazing 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 prevent it from absorbing liquids 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 represent one of the charms of Hagi pottery.
