Minoware, or Mino-yaki 美濃焼, represents a distinguished category of Japanese pottery originating from the Mino Province, encompassing renowned towns such as Tajimi, Toki, Mizunami, and Kawagoei in Gifu Prefecture. Utilizing the rich soil of Gifu Prefecture, Minoyaki is recognized as the oldest pottery in Japan, with roots tracing back to the 7th century.

Within the context of Japan's tea ceremony culture, the pursuit of natural beauty is a central theme. Consequently, teacups and ceramics are often crafted from natural, coarse clay initially. This approach, which blends ancient and contemporary styles, highlights the evolution and enduring traditions of these historic kilns.
