So just possibly, rather than literally meaning "seven stages" or seven phases, this phrase may simply be a more general expression that refers to "many different appearances".
With this translation in mind, that's probably the case

But then again, you are a vocal antiHagite.
True that. Shino has some highlights, like this one.

TIM, do you know what exactly the 7 changes are? I've been wondering for a while, but I haven't found an answer online.
Unfortunately I have no exact info on it Trent. But so far, thru using 2 of the Korean Hagis. What I learn are: 1. Color Changes. 2. Smell Changes. 3. Surface Shine Changes. 4. Texture Changes. 5. Weight Changes. 6. Crackle Changes, and leakage changes. The most obvious is the shine, very interesting development imo. It almost like a good Zhisa pot with a pearl like glows shine after continues care and usage.

I like them a lot! they each hold a little more than 5 oz or thereabouts..perfect for my gyo and kabusecha sessions. the glaze is gorgeous and milky white..shows off that green color so nicely.

I like these which are more like a bowl versus a yunomi style. They hold over 6 ounces, a typical sencha brew for me and are larger than your current set.

Beautiful cup, iannon
Chip - those cups look like frosted chocolate cupcakes!
(Can you tell I'm trying to be on a diet?)
