Every cup is a tactile reminder of centuries of Japanese craftsmanship.
Mino-yaki pottery originates from Gifu Prefecture, home to Japan's oldest ceramic tradition dating back to the 7th century. The kilns of Tajimi, Toki, Mizunami, and Kawagoei continue this legacy by blending time-honored techniques with contemporary design.
