Inoue Tea Shiro White Tesshin Mino-yaki Yunomi - Japanese Teacup

Minoware, known as Mino-yaki, is a notable category of Japanese pottery that has its roots in the Mino Province, particularly around the towns of Tajimi, Toki, Mizunami, and Kawagoei in Gifu Prefecture. This exquisite pottery is crafted from the distinctive soil found in Gifu, making Mino-yaki the oldest pottery tradition in Japan, with origins tracing back to the 7th century.

Within the context of Japan's rich tea ceremony culture, the appreciation for natural beauty holds paramount importance. This philosophy is seamlessly reflected in the design of teacups and ceramics, which are traditionally formed from natural, coarse clay. The blend of various ancient techniques and modern influences highlights the remarkable evolution and enduring legacy of these prestigious kilns.
