About this item

• MINO WARE CERAMICS- Mino ware (Mino-yaki) is produced in Mino Province in Gifu prefecture in central Japan. The history of Mino-yaki started during the 7th century and with the introduction of mass production, it became widely available in the 1800s and Mino-yaki accounts for more than 60% of all the ceramics produced in Japan today. An interesting feature about Mino-yaki is that it has not maintained a single style but has more than 15 styles, including Oribe and Shino, and each has its own color, design, and texture.
