To dedicate himself to his creative pursuits, he opened a studio in Sera Town in 2010, close to his hometown of Fuchu City.\u003cbr\u003eHis works simultaneously embody two contrasting impressions: a dynamic, inorganic feel that evokes the beauty and harshness of nature, and a slightly human softness that complements their simple forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \"Ume-yaki\" (buried firing) technique is a unique method involving bisque firing → glazing and high-firing → then burying the pieces in split firewood and firing them again in a wood-fired kiln.\u003cbr\u003eThis technique has a high probability of failure, but precisely because of this, it results in pottery with complex expressions, which Mr. Haga is passionately committed to.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Hagihaku\" (peeled white) is a new endeavor using white glazes, incorporating a process of intentionally applying and then peeling off the glaze, deliberately creating a decayed texture.\u003cbr\u003eThe price range is accessible, and the simple color tones enhance food presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Kurogin\" (black silver) is a silver technique that offers glimpses of the rough texture of the clay.\u003cbr\u003eThe glare is subdued, creating a work where a metallic texture harmonizes well with the black of the earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMr. Haga demonstrates a profound honesty regarding the inherent irreversibility of pottery making.\u003cbr\u003eWhat lies there is not a simple contrast of destruction and rebirth, but an attitude of confronting \"irretrievability\" itself.\u003cbr\u003eWe hope you will enjoy Mr. Haga's mastery of various techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e■ Size: Diameter 25cm Height 2cm\u003cbr\u003e■ Weight: Approximately 860g\u003cbr\u003e■ Microwave: × \/ Dishwasher: × \/ Oven: ×\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Mr. Haga's works value serendipity, so there is significant individual variation.\u003cbr\u003eThe photos show pieces of roughly the same size, but the patterns and fine dimensions will differ for each, so please consider them as examples.\u003cbr\u003eThe \"Ume-yaki\" pieces have a stronger random nature than \"Hagihaku.\" Please be aware of this in advance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026lt;Minoru Haga\u0026gt;\u003cbr\u003e1983 Born in Fuchu City, Hiroshima Prefecture\u003cbr\u003e2008 Graduated from Tajimi City Pottery Design and Technical Center, received Graduation Project Award\u003cbr\u003e2012 5th Contemporary Tea Ceremony Pottery Exhibition, 24th Toki City Oribe Day Commemoration Project, received TOKI ORIBE Encouragement Award\u003cbr\u003e2013 Selected for 6th Contemporary Tea Ceremony Pottery Exhibition, 25th Toki City Oribe Day Commemoration Project\u003cbr\u003e2014 Built a wood-fired kiln in Sera-cho, Sera-gun, Hiroshima Prefecture\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"芳賀稔","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51024615014685,"sku":"HMR-E4-002-b","price":8800.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0981\/5310\/3645\/files\/HMR-E4-002-b-2_dbb5ebf3-92ed-4525-ad04-3d284c078966.jpg?v=1773131607","url":"https:\/\/maholo.net\/en\/products\/hmr-e4-002-b","provider":"うつわ屋まほろ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
