Mino ware, originating during the Momoyama period, is produced mainly in Toki City, Gifu Prefecture. It became renowned alongside the rise of the Japanese tea ceremony and was favored by tea masters who embraced the wabi-sabi aesthetic. The characteristic colors of Mino ware include the delicate pale yellow of Kizeto, the lustrous black of Setoguro, the creamy white of Shino ware, and the distinctive green motifs of Oribe ware. Today, Mino ware accounts for over half of Japan's domestic porcelain tableware production.
