{"product_id":"hmr-e4-039","title":"Minoru Haga Black and Silver Bowl 11cm","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese are works by Minoru Haga, who makes pottery in Sera Town, Hiroshima Prefecture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMr. Haga studied Mino ware in Gifu, a pottery producing region. He then worked as a potter while employed at an automobile factory, but 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: a dynamic, inorganic feel that conveys the beauty and harshness of nature, and a slightly human softness that adds to the simple forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \"Ume-yaki\" (buried firing) technique is a unique method involving bisque firing, followed by glazing and main firing, and then burying the piece in split firewood and refiring it in a wood-fired kiln.\u003cbr\u003eAlthough this technique has a very high chance of failure, it results in pottery with complex expressions, which Mr. Haga enthusiastically embraces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Hakuhaku\" (peeled white) is a new endeavor that uses white glazes but includes a process of intentionally 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 that offers glimpses of the rough texture of the clay.\u003cbr\u003eThe glare is subdued, and it is a work where a metallic texture and the black of the earth are beautifully harmonized with the clay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMr. Haga presents the inherent irreversibility of the act of pottery-making with utmost 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 Mr. Haga, who skillfully uses various techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e■ Size: Diameter 11cm, Height 4.5cm\u003cbr\u003e■ Weight: Approximately 140g\u003cbr\u003e■ Microwave: × \/ Dishwasher: × \/ Oven: ×\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Mr. Haga's works value serendipity, so there is significant individual variation.\u003cbr\u003eThe photos are generally of the same size, but each piece will have different patterns and slight size variations, 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\u003cMinoru Haga\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1983 Born in Fuchu City, Hiroshima Prefecture\u003cbr\u003e2008 Completed Tajimi City Ceramic Design Research Institute, received Graduation Project Award\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":51024611803421,"sku":"HMR-E4-039","price":4400.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0981\/5310\/3645\/files\/HMR-E4-039-2_e10291ed-9d23-4e6c-8a52-93718a195afc.jpg?v=1774874029","url":"https:\/\/maholo.net\/en\/products\/hmr-e4-039","provider":"うつわ屋まほろ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
