Mino-yaki美濃焼
Thirteen centuries of fire in the hills of eastern Gifu. When the tea masters of the Momoyama age wanted bowls no one had ever seen, Mino's kilns answered — the first white glaze in Japan in Shino, the copper green and deliberate warp of Oribe, the deep black of Setoguro. Four kiln towns still share the work, and more than half of the tableware on Japan's tables begins as their clay.

Four kiln towns strung through the hills of eastern Gifu — Tajimi, Toki, Mizunami, and Kani — where feldspar-rich clay, climbing kilns, and four hundred years of shared fire made the ware Japan eats from every day.
