Description: Size width 70mm height 83mm This item is brand new and unused. Hagi-yaki is a type of traditional Japanese pottery produced mainly in Hagi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. Originating in the early Edo period (early 17th century), it was introduced by potters from the Korean Peninsula and has since developed uniquely in Japan. Here is a detailed explanation of the characteristics and history of Hagi-yaki.Characteristics1Clay Texture: Hagi-yaki clay is very soft and porous, which causes it to crack on the surface over time, changing its color and texture. This transformation is known as "nanabake," or the "seven changes of Hagi," and it provides a unique charm to the user. 2Glaze: The glaze colors of Hagi-yaki include white, pale pink, and blue. The glaze's delicate color changes as it is used, giving it a soft appearance and making it a distinctive feature of Hagi-yaki.3Simple Shapes: The shapes of items like tea bowls and teacups are simple yet warm. This simplicity is highly valued, especially in tea ceremony utensils. HistoryThe origins of Hagi-yaki date back to 1598 when M?ri Terumoto brought potters from Korea. Among the famous potters were Lee Shakko and Lee Kyung, whose skills established Hagi-yaki. During the Edo period, there was a high demand for tea utensils, leading to the production of many tea bowls and water containers. Although Hagi-yaki experienced a decline in the Meiji era, it regained attention from the Taisho era onward and continues to uphold its traditions to this day. Modern Hagi-yakiModern Hagi-yaki preserves traditional techniques while also incorporating new technologies and designs. Hagi City has become a popular tourist destination where visitors can enjoy pottery tours and hands-on pottery experiences. Hagi-yaki, with its rich history and unique texture, is a type of pottery that continues to be loved by its users for a long time.
