This group brings together several accomplished ceramic artists working in the Hagi tradition: Seigan Yamane, Issai Sato, Kunisuke Nakahara, Yuka Matsuo and Dousen Tsuchitani . Known for its milky glazes and quiet elegance, Hagi Yaki has long been favored in tea ceremony culture. Among them, Seigan Yamane stands out for his deep blue glazes and international recognition, but all contribute distinct voices to this shared tradition.
“Clay remembers the hand. What we leave behind is not just form, but feeling.” — Seigan Yamane
