Mutsumi Ohashi Yakishime Kohiki Guinomi C

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, rugged appearance.
It is in this coexistence that Ohashi's charm 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, as needed.
She creates her works by going 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 fired in the kerosene kiln, in the wood-fired kiln.
Each piece, after circulating through the elements of earth, fire, and ash, returns to the flames once more.

The power emanating from the energy of nature, and the quiet gaze facing the materials and processes.
We hope you will feel the essence of Mutsumi Ohashi's current work.
