Based in Yamaguchi Prefecture where Hagi-yaki originates, Susumu Notomi has been making pottery since 1975. Through numerous experiments of combining the local clay and his glazes fired in a high-temperature kiln, he has invented ao-hagi (blue hagi-yaki) which brings out a dramatically wide range of blue, from deep indigo to light ice blue. His works do not only capture the natural beauty of blue, but also transcend the traditional boundaries of this ancient pottery style.
