Izumiryuzan Kiln
Izumiryuzan Kiln was founded in 1826, just before the late Edo period. In its early years, it produced porcelain before shifting to earthenware, specifically Hagi ware. Over time, it has evolved with changing eras into its present form.
The kiln uses foot-operated pottery wheels and fires its work in a noborigama (a traditional multi-chambered climbing kiln built on a slope, where heat rises through each chamber).
Pieces fired this way are uniquely shaped by the kiln’s unpredictable conditions. The kiln has also developed its own distinctive glaze, making each work one of a kind.

About Hagi pottery
Hagi-yaki has a history spanning over 400 years. It began in the Edo period as the official kiln of the Mori clan and, through the tireless efforts of successive generations of artists, has developed into what it is today, steadily growing in reputation. With its soft, understated texture and the way its glaze changes with use—thanks to the clay’s permeability, a phenomenon known as “tea acclimatization” or the “seven transformations of Hagi”—it has long been favored by tea masters. It is held in such high regard that it is often ranked: “first Raku, second Hagi, third Karatsu.”

Place of origin: Yamaguchi Pref., Japan
