Description

A distinctive Hagi-yaki chawan by Seigan Yamane, featuring a heavily textured red clay body with a contrasting white glaze that cascades naturally over the rim. The exterior highlights the coarse, mineral-rich clay, while the interior is finished with a smooth white glaze, offering a balanced tactile experience.
This bowl demonstrates a deliberate contrast between rough and refined surfaces — a quality often found in Yamane’s rustic interpretations of Hagi ware.

About the Artist

Seigan Yamane is one of the leading contemporary Hagi-yaki potters, widely known for his distinctive glaze work — including his well-known “Seigan Blue” and subtle pastel tones. His pieces blend traditional Hagi techniques with controlled, modern glaze development.
Collectors value his work for its consistency, material clarity, and the depth that emerges as each bowl evolves through use.

What Is Hagi-yaki?

Hagi-yaki is a traditional ceramic style from Hagi in Yamaguchi Prefecture, long respected in Japanese tea culture. It is known for its soft clay, muted glazes, and the fine crackle patterns (kan-nyū) that form naturally through firing and use. Shapes are often slightly organic, reflecting a wabi-sabi appreciation of natural variation.

One defining feature of Hagi ware is its ability to change over time. As tea is absorbed into the glaze, the surface develops a deeper, softer character — a process called nari-ai. Because of this, Hagi ware is often described as a “living” ceramic, valued not only for its craftsmanship but for how it matures with continued use.
