Mutsumi Ohashi Ash Glaze Round Cup Small

Mutsumi Ohashi, who has a studio in Hokuto City, Yamanashi Prefecture, creates works that strongly bring out the characteristics of the clay.
The beauty of modern forms coexists with an untamed appearance.
This coexistence is where Ohashi's appeal lies.

Ohashi uses both a wood-fired kiln, which she fires only a few times a year, and a kerosene kiln, which she uses daily.
She creates her works by moving back and forth between processes, such as using ash from the wood-fired kiln as ash glaze and then firing it in the kerosene kiln.

This time, she is also attempting to re-fire works that were initially fired in the kerosene kiln, in the wood-fired kiln.
Each piece, having gone through the elements of clay, fire, and ash, returns to the flames once again.

The power that conveys the energy of nature, and a quiet gaze that confronts the materials and processes.
We hope you can feel the present state of Mutsumi Ohashi's work.
