Comment from the creator

In Japan, it is said that tools that have been used for 100 years acquire spirituality and become deities of mourning, and since the Muromachi period, they have been depicted in otogi-zoshi or fairy tales, and have become familiar to people.
Crafts that have been used and embedded in people's daily lives since ancient times may have also become tsukemogami without our noticing.
In this issue of NFT, we are trying to imagine 20 traditional crafts from all over Japan as Tsukumogami(gods of mourning).
Please take a look and see if there is a Tsukemogami to your liking.

Introduction of each work

Hagi ware

These ceramics are made mainly in the Hagi City area of Yamaguchi Prefecture.
■Made in
Yamaguchi
■Origin
Terumoto was defeated in the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600 and his territory was cut off, so he moved from Hiroshima in Aki to Hagi in Choshu. The Lee brothers, who had been left in Terumoto's care, followed suit and moved to Hagi, where they opened a kiln in Matsumoto Village, which marked the beginning of Hagi ware.
■Characteristics
Hagi ware is rarely decorated, and is made by taking advantage of the unique soft material nature of the clay, which is rough and less tightly fired, resulting in a unique texture that no two pieces are alike. The water absorbency of the clay allows tea and other liquids to seep through the fine cracks on the surface, known as "kannyu," and the color of the clay changes, creating a deeply tasty appearance, which is why it is called "Hagi no shichikake. The more the pot is used, the more the color of the pot gradually changes through this penetration, giving it an indescribable wabi-like flavor that is very appealing.
