Minoware, or Mino-yaki 美濃焼, refers to the distinguished Japanese pottery produced in the Mino Province, encompassing the towns of Tajimi, Toki, Mizunami, and Kawagoei in Gifu Prefecture. Utilizing the rich soil of Gifu Prefecture, Minoyaki represents the oldest pottery tradition found in Japan, tracing its origins to the 7th century.

Within Japan's tea ceremony culture, a fundamental goal is to embrace the natural state of beauty. Consequently, teacups and ceramics are often shaped from natural and coarse clay. This blend of ancient and modern styles illustrates the evolution and enduring tradition of these renowned kilns.
