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

In the context of Japan's rich tea ceremony culture, a fundamental objective is to embrace the natural beauty inherent in materials. Consequently, teacups and ceramics are often shaped using natural, coarse clay. By blending traditional techniques with contemporary styles, the evolution and heritage of these kilns are vividly reflected in each piece.
