Inoue Tea Oru Pink Mino-yaki Yunomi - Japanese Teacup

Minoware, also known as Mino-yaki, embodies a profound heritage of Japanese pottery that hails from the Mino Province, which includes the towns of Tajimi, Toki, Mizunami, and Kawagoe in Gifu Prefecture. This artisanal pottery, created from the distinctive soil of Gifu, is recognized as the oldest pottery in Japan, with its origins tracing back to the 7th century.

Within the esteemed tradition of Japan's tea ceremony culture, there is a significant focus on valuing natural beauty. This philosophy is beautifully reflected in the design of teacups and ceramics, which are often crafted from natural, coarse clay. The harmonious fusion of ancient and modern design elements illustrates the rich history and enduring legacy of these revered kilns.
