Inoue Tea Ishiyaki Blue Mino-yaki Yunomi - Japanese Teacup

Minoware, or Mino-yaki 美濃焼, represents a distinguished form of Japanese pottery crafted in the Mino Province, particularly around the towns of Tajimi, Toki, Mizunami, and Kawagoei in Gifu Prefecture. Utilizing the unique soil of Gifu Prefecture, Mino-yaki is recognized as the oldest pottery in Japan, with its origins dating back to the 7th century.

Within the rich tradition of Japan's tea ceremony culture, the pursuit of natural beauty is a key goal. This ethos is reflected in the design of teacups and ceramics, often initially shaped from natural, coarse clay.
