After that, he worked in a car factory while also working as a potter. In 2010, he opened his studio in Sera Town, close to his hometown of Fuchu City, to dedicate himself to his creative activities.\u003cbr\u003eHis works simultaneously encompass two contrasting impressions: a dynamic, inorganic impression that evokes the beauty and harshness of nature, and a slight human softness that is 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 it in split wood.\u003cbr\u003eThis method has a very high chance of failure, but because it results in pottery with complex expressions, Haga is passionately dedicated to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Hakuhaku\" (peeled white) is a new endeavor that uses white glazes, but intentionally includes a process of applying and then peeling off the glaze, deliberately creating a decayed texture.\u003cbr\u003eThe price range is affordable, and the simple color tone enhances the food.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Kurogin\" (black silver) is a silver technique where the rugged texture of the clay is subtly visible.\u003cbr\u003eThe glare is subdued, creating a work where a metallic texture and the black of the clay are well harmonized with 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 will enjoy Haga, who skillfully uses various techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e■Size: Diameter 21cm, Height 2.5cm\u003cbr\u003e■Weight: Approximately 450g\u003cbr\u003e■Microwave: × \/ Dishwasher: × \/ Oven: ×\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Haga's works emphasize serendipity, so there are significant individual differences.\u003cbr\u003eThe photos show generally similar sizes, but the patterns and fine sizes vary for each piece, so please consider them as an example.\u003cbr\u003e\"Ume-yaki\" has a stronger random nature than \"Hakuhaku.\" Please be aware of this in advance.\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 Chato Exhibition, TOKI Oribe Encouragement Award\u003cbr\u003e2013 25th Toki City Oribe Day Commemorative Project, 6th Contemporary Chato 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":51024612032797,"sku":"HMR-E4-031","price":9900.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0981\/5310\/3645\/files\/HMR-E4-031-2_03d77f30-e2db-47d0-8d10-e0f7571bc9f3.jpg?v=1774874096","url":"https:\/\/maholo.net\/en\/products\/hmr-e4-031","provider":"うつわ屋まほろ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
