Minoware, or Mino-yaki 美濃焼, refers to renowned Japanese pottery produced in the Mino Province, encompassing the towns of Tajimi, Toki, Mizunami, and Kawagoei in Gifu Prefecture. This exceptional pottery tradition utilizes the rich soil of Gifu Prefecture, making Minoyaki the oldest pottery in Japan, with its origins dating back to the 7th century.

Within Japan's tea ceremony culture, there is a profound emphasis on achieving a natural state of beauty. Therefore, teacups and ceramics are often crafted from natural and coarse clay. The blend of ancient and contemporary styles illustrates the rich evolution and enduring tradition of these celebrated kilns.
