We talked to Aizen kilns that make a vessel with a unique texture that does not fit the simple Hasami yaki frame.
[1] About the trigger of pursuing the path of crafts, your own background, the history and formation of the workshop
The indigo kiln in Hasami -cho, Nagasaki Prefecture, is a familiar tableware for everyday use, "Enrich the clothing, food and shelter of all people ="Good LifeUnder the motto, we create a unique pottery packed with the creator's commitment to the details.
Hasami -yaki is a mechanism made by a large number of companies in a division of labor, and it is said that potters like indigo kilns are mainly for painting and baking vessels.
"Instead of simply producing the ordered items without blurring, we want to deliver what we really want to make, and we want to deliver a vessel with a thought one by one. I want to propose a life that can be connected to a person with a vessel.
If you get the Aizen kiln's vessel filled with the thoughts of the craftsmen, it will bring a new experience that will create a smile on the table.
[2] Being working to stimulate your five senses and conscious
It is said that those who meet all over the country are at the root of the manufacturing of Aizen kiln.
"It is stimulating to walk around the city where you go and travel, and look around the local culture, people, and things. How can we please the people in this land? I always understand the land, understand the culture, and to make it a daily manufacturing.
Because it is a vessel born with thoughts, the creator and the user may be able to enjoy and feel joy.
[3] What we value and commitment in the work production, what we want to convey through the work and what we want to fulfill
Speaking of Hasamiyaki, simple Scandinavian design is popular, but the Aizen kiln's vessel has a wide range of unique series with a unique texture that is not bound by the frame.
"The bronze series where you can enjoy the vintage texture is born by sticking to the ingredients of the bowl and the compatibility of the glaze. I was born from the thoughtUtageIt is a series. I want these vessels to enrich my life. "
And the indigo kiln was born as a new challenge.HIME(Heim) series.Hiking(Hiking)HomeAs the name of the home is a combination of (home), clay pot skillet and ceramic grilled as a ceramic cooking gear that can be used outdoors or at home have been developed.
"In our manufacturing, the creators themselves value the fun and fun.HIMEThe first prototype is a small pottery clay pot for cooking with a wood stove at the president's home. All the employees of the Aizen kilns like to camp and barbecue, so we actually made it and tried it many times, so that any dishes were designed to be delicious. Cooking gears for outdoor use are generally made of metal because they are hard to crack, but the reason why they make them with pottery is that they want to eat something really delicious outdoors. "
The heat storage unique to pottery seems to be able to keep the cooked rice and keep the flavor of the meat, and to make it your favorite baking while trapping the flavor of the meat. 。 He seems to be pursuing the shapes, thicknesses, and size that are hard to crack so that they can use pottery with peace of mind outside,1If you use this gear frequently, you may be addicted to the ease of use, as well as the deliciousness of the meal outside, as well as the ease of use that can be washed with detergent and does not rust.
[4] What we are trying to inherit traditional technology and culture and what we want to challenge in the future
In the Hasami ware industry, as the aging of engineers and the declining leaders are declining, the Aizen kiln is working on creating a system that allows younger generations to be interested.
"We are open factory, and you can always experience factory tours and painting workshops at any time. There are uniforms that remade used clothes and blonde craftsmen, so you can see them while enjoying work. That's why I hope that more people will be involved in Hasami ware. "
A new experience that refreshes the image of traditional crafts is full of indigo kilns.
