Hagi-yaki pottery offers a delightful expression of color, like the evening glow. Available in two colors, it's also recommended for couples to use as a matching set. The teacups are tall and straight, making them easy to use with a generous capacity. Microwave: Not for use × Dishwasher: Not for use × Hagi-yaki began in Hagi in 1604, under the patronage of Mori Terumoto, the lord of the Hagi domain, by potters brought from the Korean Peninsula during the Bunroku and Keicho Wars (1592-1598). Afterwards, it gained high acclaim as tea utensils, so much so that it was praised by tea masters as "Ichi-raku, Ni-hagi, San-karatsu" (First Raku, Second Hagi, Third Karatsu). #Arita-yaki #Mino-yaki #Pottery #ChopstickRest #NationalTreasure #Ceramics #Porcelain #Antiques #TeaUtensils #JapaneseTableware Thank you for viewing.
