Mutsumi Ohashi yohen sake server

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 the rough, untamed texture.
This coexistence is where Ohashi's charm lies.

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

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, moving through the elements of earth, fire, and ash, returns once again to the flames.

The power emanating from the natural energy, and the quiet gaze confronting the materials and processes.
We hope you can experience Mutsumi Ohashi's current artistic journey.
