{"product_id":"hmr-e4-076","title":"Haga Minoru: Buried-Fired Silver Flower Vase C","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 production area. He then worked at an automobile factory while pursuing his career as a potter. In 2010, he opened a studio in Sera Town, near his hometown of Fuchu City, to dedicate himself to his creative work.\u003cbr\u003eHis works simultaneously encompass two opposing impressions: the dynamic, inorganic impression of nature's beauty and harshness, and a slight human softness 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 finally re-firing in a wood-fired kiln after burying the pieces in split wood.\u003cbr\u003eThis technique has a very high failure rate, but because it results in pottery with complex expressions, Mr. Haga is passionately dedicated to it.\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 accessible, 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, resulting in 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 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 Mr. Haga, who skillfully uses various techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e■Size: Diameter 11cm Height 18cm Mouth diameter 3cm\u003cbr\u003e■Weight: Approximately 820g\u003cbr\u003e■Microwave: × \/ Dishwasher: × \/ Oven: ×\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Mr. Haga's works greatly vary individually as he values serendipity.\u003cbr\u003eThe photos show pieces of roughly the same size, but please understand that the patterns and detailed sizes differ for each, so consider them as illustrative examples.\u003cbr\u003eThe \"ume-yaki\" has a stronger random nature than \"hakuhaku.\" We appreciate your understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026lt;Minoru Haga\u0026gt;\u003cbr\u003e1983 Born in Fuchu City, Hiroshima Prefecture\u003cbr\u003e2008 Completed Tajimi City Pottery Design and Technical Center, received Graduation Project Award\u003cbr\u003e2012 The 24th Toki City Oribe Day Commemorative Event, 5th Contemporary Tea Ceremony Exhibition, TOKI Oribe Encouragement Award\u003cbr\u003e2013 The 25th Toki City Oribe Day Commemorative Event, 6th Contemporary Tea Ceremony 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":51024611016989,"sku":"HMR-E4-076","price":66000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0981\/5310\/3645\/files\/HMR-E4-076-2_98803765-039b-4020-b181-291d1306a5a4.jpg?v=1773131523","url":"https:\/\/maholo.net\/en\/products\/hmr-e4-076","provider":"うつわ屋まほろ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
