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 command 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 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 "kannyu" appear on the surface due to the different shrinkage rates of the clay and glaze. One of the pleasures of using Hagi pottery is enjoying the gradual change as the kannyu cracks develop color over time.
Caring for Hagi ware
Hagi pottery easily absorbs moisture. Before using each piece, soak it in water and allow it to absorb water thoroughly to prevent it from absorbing juices from food. After use, please ensure it is completely dried before storing.
Hagi ware
Hagi-yaki 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-yaki 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-yaki pottery.
