He then worked at a car factory while pursuing his career as a potter, but in 2010, to dedicate himself to his creative activities, he opened a studio in Sera-cho, close to his hometown of Fuchu City.\u003cbr\u003eHis works simultaneously encompass two contrasting impressions: a dynamic, inorganic feel that evokes 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 that involves bisque firing, then glazing and main firing, followed by re-firing in a wood-fired kiln while buried in split wood.\u003cbr\u003eAlthough this technique has a very high risk of failure, it results in ceramics with complex expressions, which Haga diligently pursues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Hagihaku\" (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 accessible, 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 subdued, creating a harmonious blend of a metallic texture and the black of the earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaga profoundly and sincerely presents the inherent irreversibility of pottery.\u003cbr\u003eWhat lies there is not a simple contrast between destruction and rebirth, but an attitude of confronting the \"irretrievability\" itself.\u003cbr\u003eWe hope you will enjoy Haga's mastery of various techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e■Size: Diameter 25cm, Height 2cm\u003cbr\u003e■Weight: Approx. 870g\u003cbr\u003e■Microwave: × \/ Dishwasher: × \/ Oven: ×\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Haga's works greatly vary individually as he values serendipity.\u003cbr\u003eThe photos show pieces that are generally the same size, but each has different patterns and subtle variations in size, so please consider them as examples.\u003cbr\u003e\"Ume-yaki\" tends to have a more random nature than \"Hagihaku.\" Please be aware of this beforehand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e＜Minoru Haga＞\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 Memorial Project, 5th Contemporary Tea Ceremony Exhibition, TOKI Oribe Encouragement Award\u003cbr\u003e2013 The 25th Toki City Oribe Day Memorial Project, 6th Contemporary Tea Ceremony Exhibition, Selected\u003cbr\u003e2014 Built a wood-fired kiln in Sera-gun, Sera-cho, Hiroshima Prefecture\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"芳賀稔","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51024612229405,"sku":"HMR-E4-027-b","price":12100.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0981\/5310\/3645\/files\/HMR-E4-027-b-3_368ce1b4-0d3b-47e3-9823-9c412bcf7210.jpg?v=1774874170","url":"https:\/\/osakamaholo.pro\/en\/products\/hmr-e4-027-b","provider":"うつわ屋まほろ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
