Hagiyaki Shiryokan Museum

Reference/Local/Exhibition/Literature Museum

3.5

This museum is near the entrance to the Hagi Castle ruins. Its exhibits include several hundred pieces of historically important pottery, including works from official Hagi Domain kilns, early Edo period Matsumoto Kiln pieces, and works from the early Sannose Kiln. Hagi-yaki pottery originated when Korean potters were brought to Hagi after Toyotomi Hideyoshi's invasion of the Korean Peninsula, and it prospered as an official service for the lords of the Hagi Domain. This museum displays famous pieces that were found sleeping in the old homes of Hagi and inherited from ancestors, and offers a chance to learn about both Hagi-yaki pottery and local history.

萩焼に出会えました

Reviewed : 2019.11.05

萩城跡の駐車場から入口までのあいだにあり、帰りに立ち寄りました。萩焼自体普段あまり目にすることがないので、ここで初めて萩焼がどんなものか見ることになりました。落ち着いた焼き物で、ここに置いてあるものは値段がはるものが中心でした。

400年前から受け継がれる萩焼の名品に出会える資料館です。独特の柔らかい色合いのお茶碗が好きですが、ここではそれだけでなく、花入や蓋付きの器、七福神の置物と色々な萩焼を見学することができます。
目の保養に丁度良いです。

萩で有名な焼き物である萩焼を展示しています。お土産物というよりも高級な本格的な作品ばかりで、ため息が出るような見事で趣のある作品ばかりでした。時間があれば目の保養に丁度良いです。
