In 2010, he opened a studio in Sera Town, close to his hometown of Fuchu City, to dedicate himself to his creative activities.\u003cbr\u003eHis works embody conflicting impressions simultaneously: a dynamic, inorganic feel that conveys the beauty and harshness of nature, alongside a slight human softness that complements the simple forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \"ume-yaki\" (buried firing) technique is a unique method involving bisque firing, then glazing and main firing, followed by re-firing in a wood-fired kiln after being buried in split firewood.\u003cbr\u003eAlthough this technique has a very high failure rate, it results in pottery with complex expressions, which Haga approaches with great dedication.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Hagihaku\" (peeled white) is a new endeavor that uses white-based glaze but includes 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 the food served on them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Kurogin\" (black silver) is a silver technique where the rough texture of the clay is subtly visible.\u003cbr\u003eThe glare is suppressed, creating a piece where the metallic texture and the black of the earth are beautifully harmonized.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaga presents the inherent irreversibility of pottery making with extreme sincerity.\u003cbr\u003eWhat is present is not a simple contrast of destruction and rebirth, but an attitude of confronting \"irretrievability\" itself.\u003cbr\u003eWe hope you enjoy Haga's mastery of various techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e■Size: Diameter 25cm Height 2cm\u003cbr\u003e■Weight: Approx. 870g\u003cbr\u003e■Microwave: × \/ Dishwasher: × \/ Oven: ×\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Minoru Haga's works value serendipity, so there is significant individual variation.\u003cbr\u003eThe photos show generally similar sizes, but the patterns and detailed dimensions differ for each piece, so please consider them as illustrative examples.\u003cbr\u003e\"Ume-yaki\" has a stronger random nature than \"Hagihaku.\" Thank you for 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 Commemorative Event, 5th Contemporary Tea Ceremony Exhibition, TOKI Oribe Encouragement Award\u003cbr\u003e2013 The 25th Toki City Oribe Day Commemorative Event, 6th Contemporary Tea Ceremony Exhibition, Selected\u003cbr\u003e2014 Built a wood-fired kiln in Sera-gun, Sera-cho, Hiroshima Prefecture\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"芳賀稔","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51024612262173,"sku":"HMR-E4-027-a","price":12100.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0981\/5310\/3645\/files\/HMR-E4-027-a-3_3e67e535-2c34-45d7-9c13-64d0d8866f67.jpg?v=1774874175","url":"https:\/\/maholo.net\/en\/products\/hmr-e4-027-a","provider":"うつわ屋まほろ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
