Mino ware originated during the Momoyama period, alongside the rise of the tea ceremony, and is primarily produced in Toki City, Gifu Prefecture. It was particularly cherished by tea masters during the birth of Japan's wabi-sabi culture. Notable types of Mino ware include the refined pale yellow "Kizeto," the glossy jet-black "Setoguro," the soft milky-white "Shino ware," and the uniquely green-patterned "Oribe ware." Today, Mino ware accounts for more than half of all porcelain tableware produced in Japan.
