Minoware, or Mino-yaki 美濃焼, represents a revered tradition of Japanese pottery originating from the Mino Province, encompassing towns such as Tajimi, Toki, Mizunami, and Kawagoei in Gifu Prefecture. This ancient pottery, made from the rich soil of Gifu Prefecture, is recognized as the oldest pottery in Japan, with its roots dating back to the 7th century.

In the context of Japan's tea ceremony culture, a fundamental objective is to embrace the natural essence of beauty. This philosophy is often reflected in the creation of teacups and ceramics formed from natural, coarse clay. The melding of ancient and contemporary styles illustrates the enduring evolution and rich traditions of these historic kilns.
