Hagi Ware - Shop Traditional Japanese Pottery from Tanukishop.com

Hagi ware, or Hagi-yaki, is a type of Japanese pottery that originates from the Hagi area in Yamaguchi Prefecture. Renowned for its simple, rustic aesthetic, Hagi ware is recognized for its subtly textured, slightly rough surface and the serene, muted colors often seen on tea bowls, vases, and other tea ceremony utensils. Its distinct feature is the way it changes color over time as tea stains seep into the cracks of the glaze, a characteristic appreciated by tea practitioners.
