Hagi ware

Hagi ware is a traditional Japanese form of pottery originating from Hagi City in Yamaguchi Prefecture. Known for its rustic, aesthetic appeal, it features often irregular shapes, simple glaze finishes, and a warm, earthy color palette. Hagi ware is highly valued for its natural beauty and the way its surface ages gracefully over time, developing crackles and textures that enhance its character. Traditionally used in tea ceremonies, this pottery emphasizes modesty and naturalness, embodying the wabi-sabi aesthetic of appreciating beauty in imperfection and transience.
