seya. "PATAGONIA POTTERY - LONG / ONE OF A KIND / VIVID MULTI"

Regular price ¥88,000

Patagonia Pottery is a one-of-a-kind item handmade in Patagonia.
Instead of being painted, the pottery comes out of the high-temperature kiln and its natural colors emerge as a result of oxidation with the air.
The astonishingly vivid colors are not the result of paint, but of a glaze containing natural metal substances that is fired at high temperatures and then oxidized when it comes into contact with air and wood powder.
The glazes are also made using soil from the Patagonian mountains over a period of 2-3 months.
A Japanese woman who came to Patagonia in the 1970s began making these pottery, bringing with her Raku ware techniques.
It is now passed down by his disciples.

[STORY
For Citizens of the World
We need to understand and empathize with people who have lived in different cultures and with different lifestyles, and think about culture and nature as the Earth's treasures, not as citizens of a country but as citizens of the world.
Every season we travel to a different place and create sophisticated items that incorporate fashion, objects and scents through our unique sensibilities.
 I want to go back to the basics and understand the reasons for the existence of things such as materials, shapes, colors, scents, sounds, etc. that have existed for a reason since ancient times in the natural environment of various places around the world .
I hope that the important cultures and techniques of each region, which are being forgotten due to capitalism, will be preserved.
We want to take initiatives that consider our precious natural environment and culture, rather than fast fashion which has become nothing more than a consumer item that changes every season, fashion as an industrial industry, or miscellaneous goods that focus on commercialism .
That's where it all began.
