In 2010, to devote himself full-time to his creative work, he opened a studio in Sera Town, close to his hometown of Fuchu City.\u003cbr\u003eHis works simultaneously embody two opposing impressions: a dynamic, inorganic feel that evokes the beauty and harshness of nature, coupled with a subtle human softness that complements the simple forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \"Ume-yaki\" (buried firing) technique is a unique method involving bisque firing, then glazing and main firing, followed by burying the pieces in split firewood and refiring them in a wood-fired kiln.\u003cbr\u003eAlthough this technique has a very high failure rate, it results in pottery with complex expressions, which Haga earnestly pursues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Hakuhaku\" (peeled white) is a new endeavor using white glazes, but it includes a deliberate process of applying glaze and then peeling it off, intentionally creating a decayed texture.\u003cbr\u003eThe price range is accessible, and the simple color tones enhance food presentations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Kokugin\" (black silver) is a silver technique that offers glimpses of the rough texture of the clay.\u003cbr\u003eThe glare is subdued, resulting in a piece where a metallic texture and the black of the earth are harmoniously integrated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaga presents the inherent irreversibility 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 Haga's mastery of various techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e■Size: Diameter 13cm, Height 6cm\u003cbr\u003e■Weight: Approx. 230g\u003cbr\u003e■Microwave: × \/ Dishwasher: × \/ Oven: ×\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Minoru Haga's works value serendipity, so there are significant individual differences.\u003cbr\u003eThe photos show pieces that are generally the same size, but each has different patterns and slight variations in size, so please consider them as examples.\u003cbr\u003eThe \"Ume-yaki\" technique tends to have 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, received Graduation Project Award\u003cbr\u003e2012 The 24th Toki City Oribe Day Commemorative Project, 5th Contemporary Tea Ceremony Pottery Exhibition, TOKI Oribe Encouragement Award\u003cbr\u003e2013 The 25th Toki City Oribe Day Commemorative Project, 6th Contemporary Tea Ceremony Pottery 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":51024611934493,"sku":"HMR-E4-035","price":7700.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0981\/5310\/3645\/files\/HMR-E4-035-7_1b6b931d-c30b-4862-82e4-8cad55759bcc.jpg?v=1774874083","url":"https:\/\/osakamaholo.pro\/en\/products\/hmr-e4-035","provider":"うつわ屋まほろ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
