The unofficial/official HAGI topic!

[Fuut]

A veritable snow mountain....! And I'd swear that signature on the bottom looks a bit like Frosty the Snowman winking....??

Looks like the style of Kaneta Masanao.

That's because it is A vase by Kaneta.

[Eldras]

Fuut we're waiting for more Kaneta Masanao now!
Amazing pieces! I'm not ready to own such a piece but can easily see why you do

[hobin]

here's an old shark-skin hagi chawan...

[Sasameyuki]

I tried to stop myself buying ceramics for a month orso.. until this came by.. and i slipped up again

Stunning. Absolutely stunning. I love Kaneta Masanao's work and I hope that one day I can buy one of his yunomi.

Wow that's a fantastic collection Thank you for showing.

LOVE the two Seigan caddies! Your pair seems the white one is larger, i have a white and blue one too, but the blue one is larger:)

Unfortunately it seems the hagi topic is dieing..


Edit: after careful exposure of the photo's, it seems its all Seigan in the first, and all Deishi in the second photo. That's just spectacular, I've never seen such a huge collection (and i have quite a lot of Seigans work too )

Fuut,
I noticed the lack of new posts, and replies as well. I don't think I posted after my last trip to Hagi, a year ago, nor the pieces I acquired since. I wasn't able to visit Hagi this summer but I am in discussion for a (or two) new Hagi work. I'll try to post in a month or so when it arrives.
It's always a nice day to find something new in this topic.

[debunix]

The topic is slow but the Hagi are busy....

Hagiyaki imitating life, or is life imitating Hagiyaki?

Thank you and you're welcome !

oops, missed this ... you meant the first (top) photo is Deishi Shibuya's work and the second is Seigan's work

i forgot to post Kaneta Masano's works and Eiichi Shibuya's work too ! Coming Asap to help draging this topic from the grave

It is my hope, with the 100 or so Hagi Association of Ceramic Artists members, and all the other non-members, this topic could delve beyond Seigan (Saigun is his spelling) or Shibuya and a handful of others to really cover Hagiyaki. It's a vibrant place with a new generation of artists and diverse influences. It's enjoyable to view any and all posts, especially if one contributes to the wealth of knowledge found here.

[Tsubo]

On the other hand, Deishi's works are easy to find on the net, such as Seigan's ones, it's not a surprise if they are over-represented here

to really cover Hagiyaki.

What is really Hagiyaki is a matter of perspective, as many residents of Hagi-city do not consider Seigan as a real Hagiyaki artist, what I learned to my surprise on site ...

For some others Hagi artists :

Masanao Kaneta 8th, "old style" and "new style"
