{"product_id":"hmr-e4-040-a","title":"Haga Minoru Mass A","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese are works by Minoru Haga, who makes pottery in Sera Town, Hiroshima Prefecture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaga learned Mino ware in Gifu, a famous pottery region. He then worked at a car factory while also creating pottery, but to dedicate himself to his creative activities, he opened a studio in Sera Town in 2010, close to his hometown of Fuchu City.\u003cbr\u003eHis works simultaneously embody two contrasting impressions: the dynamic, inorganic feel of nature's beauty and harshness, alongside a subtle human softness that complements the simple forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \"ume-yaki\" (buried firing) technique is a unique method that involves bisque firing, then glaze firing, and finally burying the pieces in firewood and re-firing them in a wood-fired kiln.\u003cbr\u003eThis technique has a very high failure rate, but because it results in pottery with complex expressions, Haga is passionately dedicated to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Hakuhaku\" (peeled white) is a new attempt 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\"Kokugin\" (black silver) is a silver technique that offers glimpses of the raw clay's texture.\u003cbr\u003eThe glare is suppressed, creating 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 with extreme sincerity.\u003cbr\u003eWhat is present is not a simple contrast between destruction and regeneration, but an attitude of confronting \"irretrievability\" itself.\u003cbr\u003eWe hope you will enjoy Haga's masterful use of various techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e■ Diameter: cm Height: cm\u003cbr\u003e■ Weight: approx. g\u003cbr\u003e■ Microwave: × \/ Dishwasher: × \/ Oven: ×\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Haga's works greatly vary individually, as he values serendipity.\u003cbr\u003eThe photos are generally of the same size, but the patterns and delicate sizes differ for each piece, so please consider them as illustrative examples.\u003cbr\u003e\"Ume-yaki\" has a stronger random nature than \"Hakuhaku.\" We appreciate your understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cMinoru Haga\u003e\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 Project, 5th Contemporary Tea Ceramics Exhibition, TOKI Oribe Encouragement Award\u003cbr\u003e2013 The 25th Toki City Oribe Day Commemorative Project, 6th Contemporary Tea Ceramics 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":51024611770653,"sku":"HMR-E4-040-a","price":22000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0981\/5310\/3645\/files\/HMR-E4-040-a-2_eceecc67-c814-4caa-8250-b426185318aa.jpg?v=1774874023","url":"https:\/\/osakamaholo.pro\/en\/products\/hmr-e4-040-a","provider":"うつわ屋まほろ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
