{"product_id":"hmr-e4-077","title":"Haga Minoru: Buried Pottery, Silver, Flower Vase D","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 pottery production area. He then worked at a car factory while also working as a potter, but to concentrate on his creative activities, he opened a studio in 2010 in Sera Town, not far from his hometown of Fuchu City.\u003cbr\u003eHis works embody conflicting impressions: a dynamic, inorganic feel that conveys the beauty and harshness of nature, coupled with a slight 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, followed by glazing and main firing, and then burying the pieces in split firewood and refiring 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 dedicated to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Hakuhaku\" (peeled white) is a new endeavor using white glazes, but it involves intentionally peeling off the glaze after application to create a decayed texture.\u003cbr\u003eThe price range is accessible, and the simple color tones enhance the food.\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 work where a metallic texture and the black of the clay harmonize beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaga presents the inherent irreversibility of pottery with extreme 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 enjoy Haga, who skillfully uses various techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e■Size: Diameter 7cm, Height 20cm, Mouth diameter 3.5cm\u003cbr\u003e■Weight: Approx. 570g\u003cbr\u003e■Microwave: × \/ Dishwasher: × \/ Oven: ×\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Since Haga values serendipity in his works, there are significant individual differences.\u003cbr\u003eThe photos are generally of the same size, but each piece has different patterns and slight size variations, so please consider them as examples.\u003cbr\u003eUme-yaki has a stronger random nature than Hakuhaku.
