Bringing Warmth Through Fired Pottery

Mino ware, originating from the Gifu Prefecture, boasts a rich history dating back to the late 7th century. It flourished particularly during the Momoyama period and the early Edo period, becoming one of Japan’s most prominent ceramic styles. This pottery is renowned for its diverse styles, including Shino, Oribe, and Kizeto, each characterized by unique glazes and forms that reflect the natural beauty of the region.
