Inoue Tea Kurobuki Ryusui Gray Blue Mino-yaki Yunomi - Japanese Teacup

Minoware, or Mino-yaki 美濃焼, represents a distinctive style of Japanese pottery originating from the Mino Province, encompassing the towns of Tajimi, Toki, Mizunami, and Kawagoei in Gifu Prefecture. Crafted from the rich clay found in Gifu, Minoyaki is celebrated as the oldest pottery in Japan, with its roots tracing back to the 7th century.

Within the context of Japan's tea ceremony culture, the pursuit of natural beauty is a fundamental principle. Consequently, teacups and ceramics are often initially shaped using natural, coarse clay. This traditional craftsmanship, influenced by both ancient and contemporary styles, showcases the remarkable evolution and enduring heritage of these renowned kilns.
