To concentrate on his creative activities, he opened a studio in Sera Town, close to his hometown of Fuchu City, in 2010.\u003cbr\u003eHis works embody two opposing impressions simultaneously: a dynamic, inorganic impression that evokes the beauty and harshness of nature, and a subtle human softness that adds to the simple form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \"Ume-yaki\" (buried firing) technique is a unique method that involves bisque firing, then glazing and main firing, and then burying the work in split firewood and refiring it in a wood-fired kiln.\u003cbr\u003eAlthough it is a technique with a very high possibility of failure, it results in pottery with complex expressions, which is why Mr. Haga is passionately dedicated to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Hagihaku\" (peeled white) is a new attempt that uses white glazes, but includes a process of intentionally applying and then peeling off the glaze, deliberately bringing out a decayed texture.\u003cbr\u003eThe price range is affordable, and the simple color tone enhances food.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Kurogin\" (black silver) is a silver technique that offers a glimpse of the rough texture of the clay.\u003cbr\u003eThe glare is suppressed, and the work achieves a good harmony between a metallic texture and the black of the clay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMr. Haga presents the inherent irreversibility of pottery with utmost sincerity.\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 works, which utilize a variety of techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e■Size: Diameter 19cm, Height 3cm\u003cbr\u003e■Weight: Approx. 400g\u003cbr\u003e■Microwave: ◯ \/ Dishwasher: △ \/ Oven: ×\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Mr. Haga values serendipity in his works, so there are significant individual differences.\u003cbr\u003eThe photos show generally similar sizes, but the patterns and fine details of each piece will differ, so please consider them as an example.\u003cbr\u003e\"Ume-yaki\" has a stronger random nature than \"Hagihaku.\" Thank you for your understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cMinoru Haga\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1983 Born in Fuchu City, Hiroshima Prefecture\u003cbr\u003e2008 Completed Tajimi City Pottery Design and Technical Center, received Graduation Project Award\u003cbr\u003e2012 5th Contemporary Tea Ceremony Exhibition, 24th Toki City Oribe Day Commemorative Project, TOKI Oribe Encouragement Award\u003cbr\u003e2013 Selected for the 6th Contemporary Tea Ceremony Exhibition, 25th Toki City Oribe Day Commemorative Project\u003cbr\u003e2014 Built a wood-fired kiln in Sera Town, Sera District, Hiroshima Prefecture\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"芳賀稔","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51024614818077,"sku":"HMR-E4-008","price":5500.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0981\/5310\/3645\/files\/HMR-E4-008-2_7171fbba-f88b-4a47-a6b1-b3d7551e4b0d.jpg?v=1774874356","url":"https:\/\/maholo.net\/en\/products\/hmr-e4-008","provider":"うつわ屋まほろ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
