He then worked at an automobile factory while pursuing his career as a potter, but in 2010, he opened a studio in Sera Town, close to his hometown of Fuchu City, to dedicate himself to his creative activities.\u003cbr\u003eHis works simultaneously encompass two contrasting impressions: a dynamic, inorganic feel that evokes the beauty and harshness of nature, alongside a slight human softness added to the simple forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \"ume-yaki\" (buried firing) technique is a unique method involving bisque firing, followed by glazing and main firing, and then burying the piece in split firewood and firing it again in a wood-fired kiln.\u003cbr\u003eThis method has a very high chance of failure, but because it results in pottery with complex expressions, Haga diligently pursues it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Hakuhaku\" (peeled white) is a new endeavor using white glazes, but it involves the process of intentionally applying and then peeling off the glaze, deliberately bringing out a decayed texture.\u003cbr\u003eThe price range is accessible, and the simple color tone enhances food.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Kurogin\" (black silver) is a silver technique that reveals the rough texture of the clay.\u003cbr\u003eThe glare is subdued, creating a work where a metallic texture and the black of the earth are beautifully harmonized.\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, who skillfully uses various techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e■ Size: Diameter 15cm, Height 4.5cm\u003cbr\u003e■ Weight: Approximately 250g\u003cbr\u003e■ Microwave: ◯ \/ Dishwasher: △ \/ Oven: ×\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e* Mr. Haga's works value serendipity, so there are large individual differences.\u003cbr\u003eThe photos are generally of the same size, but each pattern and subtle size differs, so please consider them as an example.\u003cbr\u003e\"Ume-yaki\" has a stronger random nature than \"Hakuhaku.\" Thank you for 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 Memorial Project, The 5th Contemporary Tea Ceremony Exhibition, TOKI Oribe Encouragement Award\u003cbr\u003e2013 The 25th Toki City Oribe Day Memorial Project, The 6th Contemporary Tea Ceremony Exhibition, Selected\u003cbr\u003e2014 Built a wood-fired kiln in Sera Town, Sera-gun, Hiroshima Prefecture\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"芳賀稔","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51024611377437,"sku":"HMR-E4-046-d","price":6050.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0981\/5310\/3645\/files\/HMR-E4-046-d-2_9c965c7c-1084-44ba-a31d-906f92bf2d08.jpg?v=1773131545","url":"https:\/\/osakamaholo.pro\/en\/products\/hmr-e4-046-d","provider":"うつわ屋まほろ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
