What is Hagi ware　Hagi yaki?

Hagi-yaki = Hagi　萩　ware is a traditional Japanese pottery made in Hagi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, with a history of over 400 years. 
Alongside Kyoto's Raku ware and Saga's Karatsu ware, Hagi ware is well- known as one of Japan's three major tea ceramics. 
Its simplicity, lack of excessive decoration, and natural warm tones create a striking contrast with the vibrant green of matcha.
For this reason, Hagi ware has long been highly valued in the world of tea ceremonies.
 
Hagi-ware begins with the extraction of raw clay from the mountains and the preparation of clay by water sifting.
