Mino ware originated during the Momoyama period and is primarily produced in Toki City, Gifu Prefecture. It rose to prominence alongside the tea ceremony, becoming a favorite of tea masters who admired its wabi-sabi aesthetic. Mino ware is known for its distinctive colors, such as the elegant pale yellow of Kizeto, the glossy black of Setoguro, the soft white of Shino ware, and the unique green patterns of Oribe ware. Today, Mino ware accounts for over half of Japan's domestic porcelain tableware production.
