This sencha yunomi features an exquisitely designed brown clay body adorned with a delicate green glaze along the rim, enhancing its visual appeal. Inoue Tea offers Minoware, or Mino-yaki, a prestigious type of Japanese pottery that hails from the Mino Province. This region includes well-known towns such as Tajimi, Toki, Mizunami, and Kawagoe in Gifu Prefecture. The rich soil of Gifu Prefecture contributes to Minoyaki’s reputation as the oldest pottery style in Japan, with historical roots dating back to the 7th century.
In the realm of Japan's tea ceremony culture, the appreciation of natural beauty plays a pivotal role. Teacups and ceramics are frequently crafted from unrefined, natural clay, merging ancient techniques with modern aesthetics. This fusion reflects the evolution and time-honored traditions of the ancient kilns that create these beautiful pieces.
