The history of Hagi ware

It is said that it was only after the Meiji period that it became known generally as Hagi ware, but the history of Hagi ware dates back to the early Edo period. The origin of Hagi ware is said to be the official kiln built by Korean potter Ri Seok-gwang and his brother Ri Gyeong in 1604 by order of Mori Terumoto, the founder of the Hagi domain.

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 Hagi pottery is enjoying the gradual change 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 help prevent it from absorbing liquids from food. After use, please ensure it is completely dried 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" (seven transformations of Hagi), which is part of the charm of Hagi pottery.
