Minoware, known as Minoyaki 美濃焼, represents the remarkable craftsmanship of Japanese pottery originating from the Mino Province, which includes the towns of Tajimi, Toki, Mizunami, and Kawagoei in Gifu Prefecture. This pottery, made from the fertile soil of Gifu, stands as the oldest ceramic art in Japan, with a rich history dating back to the 7th century.

In the context of Japan's revered tea ceremony culture, the emphasis on natural aesthetics holds great significance.
