What is Hagi ware?
Hagi-yaki = Hagi 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.

ヨーロッパの日系企業様
我々は、2024年の3月からオランダを拠点に日本の陶器（萩焼、琉球ガラス）を発信しております。
皆様、ご存知の通り、日本国内の日本の伝統工芸は、コロナ以降、衰退の一途を辿り、あらゆる産地が苦しんでおります。
そこで、皆様方にお願いがございます。
日本の伝統工芸品である萩焼などを、お取引先への手土産に、また、イベントの粗品に、帰任等の際のご挨拶にお使いいただけないでしょうか。
現在のところ、萩焼、琉球ガラスがメインとなりますが、今後は様々な産地の伝統工芸品を取り扱う予定です。
何卒、宜しくお願い致します。

Hagi-ware begins with the extraction of raw clay from the mountains and the preparation of clay by water sifting.
It is by no means cheap.
Many people are involved until a single piece of work is completed.
We want you to hold the work in your hands once.
You will become attached to it and be captivated by it.
We hope that Hagiyaki will reach you.
