(called Hagi yaki in Japanese) is a form of porcelain produced mainly in the town of Hagi in Yamaguchi prefecture. Hagi ware is rarely decorated, remaining as simple as possible in order to make the best use of its clay. One of Hagi ware's most important features and what makes it unique is its use of raw materials in an uncomplicated way that maintains its original texture. This simplicity and use of raw materials is why there are no two similar Hagi ware items. The individuality of this porcelain is produced by deep cracks in the clay expanding and contracting the enamel. This results in variations and color changes on the pottery's surface called "the seven disguises" (nanabake). Hagi ware also changes color during its firing, bringing it an unpredictable final touch. Hagi ware is often used for tea utensils that typically have a notched foot. There are various theories about the purpose of the notched foot but for Hagi ware, which is otherwise not decorated, they are an important component that changes the whole look of the pottery. Hagi ware uses a paste made of three different clays (daidou, mishima and mitake) which are all extracted from different places. The clay obtained by mixing them together has a nice texture with excellent heat retention, making it a great choice for tea utensils.」12月24日 3時26分
