Overview

Historic pottery workshops producing prized tea wares that develop unique patina over years of use.

The workshops of Hagi-yaki potters, whose tea ceremony wares are prized as second only to Raku among Japanese ceramics traditions. The signature soft pink clay and natural ash glazes develop a unique patina called 'the seven changes of Hagi' as tea seeps into the porous surface over years of use. Several multi-generational kilns welcome visitors for tours and pottery experiences.
