Inoue Tea Tetsu Black Mino-yaki Yunomi - Japanese Teacup

Minoware, also known as Mino-yaki, is a renowned style of Japanese pottery that hails from the Mino Province, particularly around the towns of Tajimi, Toki, Mizunami, and Kawagoei in Gifu Prefecture. This exquisite pottery tradition, which dates back to the 7th century, is crafted from the unique and fertile soil of Gifu Prefecture, making it the oldest of its kind in Japan.

In the context of Japan's cherished tea ceremony culture, there is a deep appreciation for achieving a natural beauty. This philosophy is beautifully embodied in the teacups and ceramics, which are often formed from natural, coarse clay. The craftsmanship of Mino-yaki merges ancient techniques with contemporary design, highlighting the evolution and rich heritage of these esteemed kilns.
