Japanese Tosai Tsubakihide Kiln Buds Free Cup Pair

The history of Hagi ware dates back to the Keicho era, when potters who arrived from Korea opened a kiln as an official service kiln for the Mori domain, producing Goryeo-style tea ware. Its distinctive feature is the softness and absorbency of the fired clay. Fired at a high temperature for a relatively short time, the clay retains its character, resulting in a soft feel, and since the clay is not too hardened, it retains heat well. Because of its absorbency, over the years of careful use, you can enjoy the changing colors and appearances known as "tea habituation" and "Hagi no Nanabake." The color of Hagi ware is created when the clay and glaze blend together, so no two pieces are exactly the same. Please allow for slight variations in color due to firing, as well as differences in size and volume. Hagi ware
