Please note that the appearance and texture may vary slightly between items.

Mino ware is a type of pottery that began during the Momoyama period, flourishing alongside the rise of the tea ceremony. It is primarily produced in Toki City, Gifu Prefecture. It was especially beloved by tea masters active during the Momoyama period, the birthplace of Japan’s wabi-sabi aesthetic.

Representative styles of Mino ware include the elegant pale yellow “Kizeto,” the lustrous jet-black “Setoguro,” the soft, milky white “Shino ware,” and the uniquely green-patterned “Oribe ware,” which is particularly rare.

Today, Mino ware accounts for more than half of all porcelain tableware produced in Japan.
