To devote himself full-time to his creative work, he opened a studio in Sera Town, close to his hometown of Fuchu City, in 2010.\u003cbr\u003eHis works simultaneously encompass two contrasting impressions: a dynamic, inorganic feel that evokes the beauty and harshness of nature, alongside a slight human softness added to simple forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \"ume-yaki\" (buried firing) technique is a unique method that involves bisque firing, then glazing and main firing, followed by re-firing in a wood-fired kiln by burying the pieces in firewood.\u003cbr\u003eAlthough this method carries a high risk of failure, it results in pottery with complex expressions, which Haga pursues with great dedication.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Hakuhaku\" (stripped white) is a new endeavor using white glazes, but it involves intentionally applying glaze and then stripping it away, purposefully bringing out a decayed texture.\u003cbr\u003eThe price range is accessible, and the simple color tones enhance the food served on them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Kurogin\" (black silver) is a silver technique that reveals the raw texture of the clay.\u003cbr\u003eThe glare is suppressed, creating a work where a metallic texture harmonizes well with the black of the earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaga presents the inherent irreversibility of pottery with extreme 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 enjoy Haga, who skillfully uses various techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e■Size: Diameter 19cm, Height 3.5cm\u003cbr\u003e■Weight: Approximately 340g\u003cbr\u003e■Microwave: ◯ \/ Dishwasher: △ \/ Oven: ×\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Minoru Haga's works greatly value serendipity, so there are significant individual differences.\u003cbr\u003eWhile the photos show pieces of roughly the same size, the patterns and precise sizes of each piece will vary, so please consider them as illustrative examples.\u003cbr\u003e\"Ume-yaki\" tends to have a more random nature than \"Hakuhaku.\" We appreciate your understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e＜Minoru Haga＞\u003cbr\u003e1983 Born in Fuchu City, Hiroshima Prefecture\u003cbr\u003e2008 Completed Tajimi City Pottery Design and Technical Center, received Graduation Project Award\u003cbr\u003e2012 The 24th Toki City Oribe Day Memorial Project, 5th Contemporary Tea Ceremony Exhibition, TOKI Oribe Encouragement Award\u003cbr\u003e2013 The 25th Toki City Oribe Day Memorial Project, 6th Contemporary Tea Ceremony Exhibition, Selected\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":51024614785309,"sku":"HMR-E4-009","price":4950.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0981\/5310\/3645\/files\/HMR-E4-009-2_3f1bf99c-552f-43fb-a086-f083be5de0a1.jpg?v=1774874350","url":"https:\/\/maholo.net\/en\/products\/hmr-e4-009","provider":"うつわ屋まほろ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
