Minoware, or Mino-yaki, is celebrated Japanese pottery hailing from the Mino Province, which includes the towns of Tajimi, Toki, Mizunami, and Kawagoei in Gifu Prefecture. This distinguished pottery tradition is built upon the fertile soil of Gifu Prefecture, making Mino-yaki the oldest pottery style in Japan, with roots tracing back to the 7th century.

In the tea ceremony culture of Japan, there is a deep appreciation for natural beauty. Consequently, teacups and ceramics are often crafted from natural, coarse clay. The combination of traditional and modern styles reflects the rich heritage and ongoing legacy of these esteemed kilns.
