He then worked as a potter while working at an automobile factory, but in 2010, he opened a studio in Sera Town, which is close to his hometown of Fuchu City, to focus on his creative activities.\u003cbr\u003eHis works simultaneously encompass 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, followed by glazing and main firing, and then re-firing in a wood-fired kiln by burying the pieces in firewood.\u003cbr\u003eAlthough this technique has a very high chance of failure, it results in pottery with complex expressions, which Haga diligently pursues.\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 tones enhance the food.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Kurogin\" (black silver) is a silver technique where the rugged texture of the clay is visible.\u003cbr\u003eThe glare is suppressed, and the work is a harmonious blend of a metallic texture and the black of the clay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaga demonstrates a profound honesty regarding the inherent irreversibility of the act of making 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 enjoy Haga's diverse techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e■Size: Diameter 22cm, Height 3cm\u003cbr\u003e■Weight: Approximately 580g\u003cbr\u003e■Microwave: × \/ Dishwasher: × \/ Oven: ×\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Haga's works highly value serendipity, so there are significant individual differences.\u003cbr\u003eThe photos show generally similar sizes, but the patterns and fine details of each piece vary, so please consider them as an example.\u003cbr\u003e\"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 and 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":51024612000029,"sku":"HMR-E4-032","price":11000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0981\/5310\/3645\/files\/HMR-E4-032-2_48933714-1dba-472b-aeb4-12446fff7c95.jpg?v=1774874093","url":"https:\/\/osakamaholo.pro\/en\/products\/hmr-e4-032","provider":"うつわ屋まほろ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
