He then worked at an automobile factory while pursuing his career as a potter, but in 2010, he opened a studio in Sera Town, close to his hometown of Fuchu City, to focus on his creative activities.\u003cbr\u003eHis works simultaneously embody two contrasting impressions: a dynamic, inorganic impression that evokes the beauty and harshness of nature, and a slightly 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, and then burying the piece in split firewood and firing it again in a wood-fired kiln.\u003cbr\u003eThis method has a very high chance of failure, but because it results in pottery with complex expressions, Haga diligently pursues it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Hakuhaku\" (peeled white) is a new attempt that uses white glazes but includes the 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 tones enhance the 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 it is a work where the metallic texture and the black of the earth are harmoniously integrated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaga presents the inherent irreversibility of the act of pottery with extreme sincerity.\u003cbr\u003eWhat lies there is not a simple contrast between destruction and rebirth, but an attitude of confronting \"irretrievability\" itself.\u003cbr\u003eWe hope you will enjoy Haga's diverse techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e■ Size: Diameter 19cm Height 4.5cm\u003cbr\u003e■ Weight: Approximately 400g\u003cbr\u003e■ Microwave: × \/ Dishwasher: × \/ Oven: ×\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e* Mr. Haga's works value serendipity, so there is a large degree of individual difference.\u003cbr\u003eThe photos are generally of the same size, but the patterns and fine sizes vary, so please consider them as an example.\u003cbr\u003eThe \"ume-yaki\" has a stronger random nature than \"hakuhaku.\" Please be aware of this in advance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e＜Minoru Haga＞\u003cbr\u003e1983 Born in Fuchu City, Hiroshima Prefecture\u003cbr\u003e2008 Completed Tajimi City Ceramic Design Research Institute, Graduation Project Award\u003cbr\u003e2012 The 24th Toki City Oribe Day Commemorative Project, 5th Contemporary Tea Ceremony Pottery Exhibition, TOKI Oribe Encouragement Award\u003cbr\u003e2013 The 25th Toki City Oribe Day Commemorative Project, 6th Contemporary Tea Ceremony Pottery 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":51024611967261,"sku":"HMR-E4-033","price":8800.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0981\/5310\/3645\/files\/HMR-E4-033-2_97cf703f-854f-4fca-af35-c80991141c93.jpg?v=1774874088","url":"https:\/\/maholo.net\/en\/products\/hmr-e4-033","provider":"うつわ屋まほろ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
