Mino ware originated in the Momoyama period, flourishing alongside the rise of the tea ceremony, and is primarily produced in Toki City, Gifu Prefecture. It was especially loved by tea masters during the birth of Japan's wabi-sabi aesthetic. Representative styles of Mino ware include the refined pale yellow of Kizeto, the glossy black of Setoguro, the soft milky white of Shino ware, and the uniquely green-accented Oribe ware. Today, Mino ware accounts for over half of Japan’s domestic porcelain tableware production.
