A collective of potters shaping the legacy of Hagi ware in Japan.
(Yamaguchi, Japan )
Hagi ware, a traditional pottery from Yamaguchi Prefecture, dates back to the late 16th century when Korean potters Yi Sukkwang and Yi Kyung were brought to Japan by Lord Mori Terumoto. The first kiln was established in Matsumoto village, and by the mid-17th century, production expanded to Fukawa village, creating two main Hagi ware lineages.
Known for its simple aesthetics and unique "kannyu" glaze cracks, Hagi ware changes over time as tea seeps into the glaze, embodying the Japanese wabi-sabi philosophy of beauty in imperfection.
The person behind UNEARTHED
For over 15 years I have been collecting ceramics and drinking tea very seriously. Now I am funnelling all of that experience into finding and curating great wares and tea.
We only sell what I personally like a lot, and that includes the tea I drink myself every day. I choose every maker. I taste every tea before it goes into the shop. I travel to Japan and China to meet the people who make what we sell.
Until now the entire endeavour is in my hands from end to end: sourcing, logistics, photography, education, labelling and packing your parcels.
Our gallery, studio, and tea space are a hub for experiencing and sharing the art of ceramics and tea.
Similar to the concept of “Utsuwa-galleries” in Japan, we are holding monthly exhibitions of unique ceramicists from Japan, China and Europe.
We also regularly host Workshops and Tea Experiences, and we supply cafés and shops with matcha and equipment at wholesale prices.
A little difficult to clean but a true joy to use.
I have found another favourite. A beautiful sencha without even a little bit of astringency.
Beauty and grace. Put in a lower amount of leaf for a delicate and ethereal brew. Add some more leaf for more body, robustness and power. Regardless of what you choose, this gorgeous material is always in balance. Definitely will be buying more!
tastes very good. I drink matcha Latte daily and i tried many different brands, the best matcha ive ever tried is this one. I am very happy with unearthed gallery! Thank you.
Wonderful maocha. Incredible craftsmanship that lasts through many infusions. Clean and powerful flavor. Highly recommended.
