He then worked at an automobile factory while pursuing his pottery activities, but in 2010, he opened a studio in Sera Town, close to his hometown of Fuchu City, to dedicate himself to creative work.\u003cbr\u003eHis works simultaneously embody two contrasting impressions: a dynamic, inorganic impression that evokes the beauty and harshness of nature, and a slight 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, followed by burying the pieces in split firewood and refiring them in a wood-fired kiln.\u003cbr\u003eAlthough this technique has a very high chance of failure, it results in pottery with complex expressions, which Haga diligently pursues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Hakuhaku\" (peeled white) is a new endeavor using white glazes, incorporating a process of intentionally applying and then peeling off the glaze, thereby deliberately creating a weathered texture.\u003cbr\u003eThe price range is accessible, and the simple color tone enhances the food served on it.\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 piece where a metallic texture and the black of the earth are harmoniously integrated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaga presents the inherent irreversibility of pottery making with extreme sincerity.\u003cbr\u003eWhat lies there is not a simple contrast of destruction and regeneration, but an attitude of confronting \"irretrievability\" itself.\u003cbr\u003eWe hope you enjoy Haga's diverse techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e■ Size: Diameter 25cm, Height 2cm\u003cbr\u003e■ Weight: Approximately 880g\u003cbr\u003e■ Microwave: × \/ Dishwasher: × \/ Oven: ×\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Haga's works value serendipity, so there are significant individual differences.\u003cbr\u003eThe photos show generally similar sizes, but each piece has different patterns and subtle dimensions, so please consider them as examples.\u003cbr\u003e\"Ume-yaki\" has a stronger random nature than \"Hakuhaku.\" Please be aware of this beforehand.\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 24th Toki City Oribe Day Commemorative Project, 5th Contemporary Tea Pottery Exhibition, TOKI Oribe Encouragement Award\u003cbr\u003e2013 25th Toki City Oribe Day Commemorative Project, 6th Contemporary Tea Pottery 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":51024612131101,"sku":"HMR-E4-028-b","price":12100.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0981\/5310\/3645\/files\/HMR-E4-028-b-2_ea03a9cd-f78b-43f5-81d1-224c1844c1f0.jpg?v=1774874132","url":"https:\/\/maholo.net\/en\/products\/hmr-e4-028-b","provider":"うつわ屋まほろ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
