Mutsumi Ohashi Ash Glaze Coupe Plate

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 a rugged, raw expression coexisting with a contemporary form.
This coexistence is where Ohashi's charm lies.

Ohashi selectively uses a wood-fired kiln, which is fired only a few times a year, and a kerosene kiln, which is used daily.
He creates his works by moving back and forth between processes, such as using ash created in the wood-fired kiln as ash glaze and then firing it in the kerosene kiln.

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

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