Comes with a wooden tomobako (matching wooden box). Hagi-yaki is pottery that developed as the official kiln of the Mori clan, who held Suo and Nagato provinces. Its history dates back to the Genroku era (1592), during Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Korean expeditions. Hagi-yaki changes color the more it is used, creating a unique, wabi-sabi aesthetic. This transformation is called "Hagi no Nanabake" (Seven Transformations of Hagi), and is a characteristic charm of Hagi-yaki. It is said (or not said) that people in Yamaguchi used to drink tea from Hagi-yaki and say, "The tea tastes incredibly delicious!"
