“The World of Hagiyaki/Yoko Honma”
"Ichiraku, Nihagi, Sankaratsu"
In the world of tea ceremony, there has been a ranking or ranking of matcha tea bowls by tea masters for a long time.
It has been said that the first place was Rakuyaki (Kyoto), the second place was Hagiyaki (Hagi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture), and the third place was Karatsuyaki (Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture).
One day in November, the teacher decided to give us a special lesson on how to make the Furo's charcoal point before the opening of the Furo.
The subtitle at that time was "Hagi Tea Bowl Enjoyment Party"
After the first charcoal training, we continued to make usukucha, and enjoyed both koicha and oshicha in Hagi tea bowls.
I was given the opportunity to use a tea bowl belonging to Mr. Kyusetsu Miwa, the 13th generation (I believe he was the 13th generation,,,), as well as many other things.
I was immediately fascinated by the world of Hagiyaki.
I received a copy of Hagiyaki from Mr. Shachu and will study it. And I found this exhibition by chance.
I love the MOA Museum of Art's ``13th Generation Miwa Kyusetsu: Shaping the Tea Ceremony'' held at the MOA Museum of Art. I have no choice but to go!
This is a rare art museum where you are allowed to take photos of the artworks inside the museum. *Some exceptions
There were many exhibits related to tea, and it was very interesting to see.
Works by Kyusetsu Miwa, the 13th generation. It's cool! !
In the manga ``Heugemono,'' Sen no Rikyu refers to Oribe Furuta as ``Kori.''
"Kori" is abbreviated to "Kori", but Rikyu is modern and cute. That's what I was thinking in my heart.
I found the character for Koori among the exhibits! ! I was watching to myself, grinning. It must have been creepy for the people around me. . .
Spectacular views of Atami Bay from the museum! Seeing this scenery is one of the pleasures.
This is my Hagi tea bowl. I received this from my teacher at my first kettle a few years ago.
This is a Hagiyaki bowl that I have been using for a long time in my lessons. I feel attached to it.
Next year I would like to go to Hagi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture and visit the authentic Hagiyaki.

I have no knowledge of tea, tea bowls, or pottery, but since my hometown is Yamaguchi Prefecture, I have often seen Hagi ware since I was a child, so it Somehow felt familiar to me.
I am fascinated by the warm skin color and delicate texture of Hagiyaki, and it is my favorite pottery♪
Please continue to tell me more stories (^^)
Dear kazu-endlix, thank you as always. It's was so! I'm also a beginner in pottery, and up until now I've been doing my best at making tea and haven't had the time to enjoy using the utensils.
I would love to hear more from you. We are looking forward to seeing you again!
Since I have almost no knowledge of "pottery"...I'd like to see "Hagi" from a different perspective...^^;
"Hagi" is also a city facing the Sea of Japan, so you can enjoy a spectacular view different from "Atami" ♪^^
Also, if you have a chance, try the ``maruzuke'' (maruzuke), which is made from a whole summer tangerine, as Hagi is a production area for ``natsumikan''!
(It's made by hollowing out the inside of a summer mandarin orange, pickling it in sugar, and pouring the juice of the summer mandarin into it.)
I think "Hagi" was also called "Little Kyoto," so it's a good place to enjoy the atmosphere of the city!
(^-^ゞ
OR Manekineko, thank you for your continued comments. The information on "Hagi" is very helpful. I'm happy!
I'm already very interested in "maruzuke". I'm more excited to go!
The following year Accidentally happened to be going to Hagi for the first time at the beginning of the year, but as I had no connection to the place and wasn't really excited about going, I came across this blog post at just the right time!
Thank you for your help.
It's just a far-fetched idea, but as someone from Hokkaido, when I heard about Hagi and Hagiyaki, which Mr. Honma was interested in, I suddenly felt motivated!
I don't know where connections and ties come from.
Thank you for your comment, Potechimaru. You'll be going next year! I'm so jealous. . .
Thanks to everyone's comments, not only Hagiyaki but also other interesting things have increased, and I have decided to go to "Hagi" next year!
Please take care of yourself on the way, Potechimaru-sama, and have fun!
I'm from Yamaguchi Prefecture and I'm happy to see so many comments about Hagiyaki.
Hagi ware is a part of our daily lives, not just in Tea Ceremony Utensils, but also in couple tea bowls, plates, and more.
Recently, Tsukasa Kaneko's pop and cute Hagiyaki is also available. (It was also awarded overseas and exhibited at the Hagi Art Museum.)
Take a trip to the end of the Edo period in the castle town of Hagi.
Dear Shiropon, thank you for your comment. I'm happy to hear about Hagiyaki! thank you.
I'm really looking forward to going there now, and I feel like going by the end of the year!
A long time ago, when my cousin visited Hagi on a trip, she bought a rice bowl and teacup for herself and showed me them. Both had a pale pink glaze that resembled cherry blossoms, and I remember them being beautiful. The rice in the bowl was also placed in a beautiful container, which made them happy.
I have fond memories of cycling around Hagi when Era a student. The deliciousness of the wakame miso soup served at the inn still lingers on my tongue. It was a wonderful and relaxing place.
Please have a lot of fun.
Dear Onkochishin, Thank you for your comment. The pale pink Hagiyaki that resembles cherry blossom shells is wonderful! I feel that people and things are encounters.
It's great to be able to cycle around Hagi as you can experience the atmosphere of the town and see many different places. I'm looking forward to making plans.
Honma-san! Thank you for your interest in the vague information about me from about 30 years ago ♪^^;
↑After I wrote the comment, I got worried... I searched...^^;
It seems that ``maruzuke'' of summer mandarin oranges is still manufactured at ``Mitsukuni Honten'', the shop that sells ``Original Natsumikan Sweets''.
(It seems that there are other stores that manufacture this product, but this store seems to have developed it. I also bought it at this store!)
Back then, you could buy it with just one bill...^^;
I can feel the passage of Era...
OR Manekineko, thank you for taking the trouble Melody! I would like to visit the main store. thank you!
This Hagiyaki tea bowl is wonderful. I don't do tea ceremonies, so I don't have a chance to touch matcha bowls, but I also like Hagiyaki. I really like the ``studible'' feel of the white stones touching my Orange skin, and I also love how the soft penetrations blend in with the color of the drink as I use them.
I love the end of the Edo period and I also love pottery, so I've been to Hagi many times, and I've even gone to the pottery to buy Hagi ware. If you're having tea, I'm sure you'll have more wonderful encounters! Please feel free to pick up a nice matcha bowl on-site! !
(I also like MOA Museum of Art!)
Dear Mayarin, thank you for your comment. You've been there many times. enviable! I would also like to visit the pottery.
I am thinking about everyone's comments and am looking forward to it even more. thank you! !
