The History of Mino Ware
Mino-yaki pottery is said to have originated during the Nara period when the potter's wheel and cave kilns were introduced from the Korean Peninsula along with the production methods of Sue pottery. In the Heian period, the production of ash-glazed ceramics began, and during the Azuchi-Momoyama period, with the popularity of the tea ceremony, distinctive styles such as Shino, Kiseto, Oribe, and Seto-guro were born.
Characteristics of Mino ware
Throughout its history, Mino-yaki has given birth to a wide variety of techniques and glazes, with as many as 15 types designated as traditional crafts. The production of everyday household items began in the Meiji period, and since then, tea ceremony utensils and tableware have been cherished for their simple yet beautiful glaze colors and forms.
Mountains, soil, water
Toki City in Gifu Prefecture is abundant in clay for ceramics, as approximately 70% of the area consists of hilly terrain. The clay used for ceramics originally comes from granite. Over the years, it weathered and decayed, was exposed to wind and rain, accumulated, and eventually mixed with organic matter such as soil and fallen leaves to form the clay found in the Tono region. The Toki River (Shonai River) and the abundant water flowing through it gather this clay.
