{"product_id":"hmr-e4-038","title":"Haga Minoru Black and Silver Plate 10cm","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a work by Minoru Haga, who makes pottery in Sera Town, Hiroshima Prefecture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaga learned Mino ware in Gifu, a pottery production area, and then worked at an automobile factory while pursuing his career as a potter. 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 simultaneously encompass two contrasting impressions: the dynamic, inorganic impression that evokes the beauty and harshness of nature, and the 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 glaze firing, and then burying the pieces in split firewood and refiring them in a wood-fired kiln.\u003cbr\u003eThis technique has a very high chance of failure, but it results in ceramics with complex expressions, which Haga approaches with great enthusiasm.\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, bringing out a deliberately decayed texture.\u003cbr\u003eThe price range is affordable, and the simple color tones enhance food presentation.\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 suppressed, creating a work where the metallic texture and the black of the earth are beautifully harmonized with the clay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaga demonstrates with great sincerity the inherent irreversibility of the act of pottery.\u003cbr\u003eWhat is present 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 10cm Height 2cm\u003cbr\u003e■Weight: Approximately 100g\u003cbr\u003e■Microwave: × \/ Dishwasher: × \/ Oven: ×\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Haga's works value serendipity, so there are large individual differences.\u003cbr\u003eThe photos are generally of the same size, but each piece has different patterns and subtle sizes, so please consider them as examples.\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 Ceramic Design Institute, awarded Graduation Project Prize\u003cbr\u003e2012 The 24th Toki City Oribe Day Commemorative Project, 5th Contemporary Tea Ceremony Exhibition, TOKI Oribe Encouragement Award\u003cbr\u003e2013 The 25th Toki City Oribe Day Commemorative Project, 6th Contemporary Tea Ceremony Exhibition, Selected\u003cbr\u003e2014 Built a wood-fired kiln in Sera Town, Sera District, Hiroshima Prefecture\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"芳賀稔","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51024611836189,"sku":"HMR-E4-038","price":3850.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0981\/5310\/3645\/files\/HMR-E4-038-2_4f71bb73-f3ad-4ba9-8e4d-797d7f614694.jpg?v=1774874064","url":"https:\/\/maholo.net\/en\/products\/hmr-e4-038","provider":"うつわ屋まほろ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
