The glaze stops where it stops, and the clay beneath has something to say. A pale celadon white covers the upper body and interior of this chawan, its edge dissolving into an irregular boundary, leaving the lower half of the bowl entirely exposed. The raw Hagi clay here is deeply iron red and coarse in texture, its surface shaped by Senryuzan's Misogi carving technique, which shaves sections of the clay away to produce broad angled facets with a pronounced sculptural weight. Where glaze and clay meet, the white drips in isolated pools and thin rivulets, neither retreating nor fully committing. Senryuzan works within Hagi's 400 year ceramic lineage in Yamaguchi Prefecture, and this piece sits at the edge of that tradition, formal in its craft and uncompromising in its visual honesty.

Meet the Artisan

Senryuzan

Senryuzan was founded in 1826 in Hagi, Yamaguchi Prefecture, during the late Edo period, making it one of the older continuously operating kilns in the city. The kiln belongs to the Yoshika family, whose lineage at Senryuzan spans multiple generations. A pivotal figure in the kiln's modern identity was Yoshika Taibi, who trained at the Tokyo College of Arts and brought a considered artistic sensibility to the craft, earning national recognition for work that bridged the disciplined traditions of Hagi ware with the vision of a trained ceramic artist. His pieces, ranging from everyday vessels to Ido-style tea bowls, drew both collectors and connoisseurs.

Today, Senryuzan continues to fire using a traditional wood-burning climbing kiln with multiple chambers built on a hillside, a method that produces results as unpredictable as they are irreplaceable. Each firing carries the risk of loss and the possibility of something extraordinary. The kiln also houses a dedicated museum where historically significant pieces are preserved alongside the living practice of the workshop, and welcomes visitors to experience the craft firsthand through hands-on pottery sessions. In honoring both the heritage of Hagi ware and the pursuit of its finest expression, Senryuzan remains one of the most respected names in a city whose identity is inseparable from its clay.
