Inoue Tea Shun Nagashi Red Mino-yaki Yunomi - Japanese Teacup

Minoware, also known as Mino-yaki, is a celebrated style of Japanese pottery that originates from the Mino Province, particularly in the towns surrounding Tajimi, Toki, Mizunami, and Kawagoei in Gifu Prefecture. Renowned for its craftsmanship, Mino-yaki is recognized as the oldest pottery in Japan, with roots tracing back to the 7th century. The fertile soil of Gifu Prefecture contributes to the unique characteristics of these ceramics.

The art of tea in Japan is deeply intertwined with the principles of aesthetics and the pursuit of natural beauty. In this context, teacups and ceramics are thoughtfully shaped from natural, coarse clay. This traditional method, enriched by a blend of ancient techniques and contemporary influences, showcases the deep heritage and artistry of Mino-yaki.
