[History of Ohi ware]
In the 6th year of the Kanbun era, when Maeda Tsunanori, the lord of the Kaga domain, invited Sen Soshitsu Senbiki, the fourth head of the Urasenke school, from Kyoto to serve as the head of the tea ceremony utensil department, the first generation Hashi Chozaemon, a potter born in Kawachi, accompanied him and introduced Raku ware to the area.
Even after Senbiki returned to Kyoto three years later, Chozaemon remained, living in Ohi Village, Kahoku County (present-day Ohi Town, Kanazawa City), setting up a kiln and serving as a pottery supplier to the domain, and was allowed to use the surname Ohi after the place name.
After moving to Kanazawa, Chozaemon Haji changed his surname to "Ohi", and the family name continued until the seventh head of the family, Michitada Ohi, who died in 1894.
