Artisan & Craft
The bowl in this set is crafted using Mino ware, a long-standing ceramic tradition from Gifu Prefecture that has been produced in Japan for over 1,300 years. Mino pottery is widely used in Japanese tea culture and is appreciated for its durable clay, distinctive glazes, and handmade character.
This bowl features Oribe glaze, a style that emerged in the late 16th century and is recognized for its deep green tones and expressive patterns. The glaze is applied by hand and fired at high temperatures, allowing the green surface to interact naturally with the clay and create subtle variations in color and texture.
Finished and fired individually, no two pieces are exactly the same. Small differences in glaze flow, tone, and surface texture are a natural part of the traditional firing process and are valued as signs of authentic handmade Japanese ceramics.
Note
Because each bowl is individually finished and fired, slight variations in glaze tone, surface texture, and pattern are natural. These differences are part of the character of handmade Oribe ware and make each set subtly unique.

Mino ware · Gifu, Japan
Mino ware: 1,300 years of ceramic innovation
Mino ware comes from the Tono region of Gifu Prefecture, one of Japan's most important ceramic-producing areas. Over centuries, kilns in the region developed a remarkable range of styles, from restrained Shino and Oribe pieces tied to tea culture to everyday tableware for modern Japanese homes. Rather than being defined by a single look, Mino ware is known for that diversity. A ceramic tradition that has continued to evolve with the way people actually live and eat.
Mino ware, or Minoyaki, is the broad ceramic
tradition associated with the Mino region of
present-day Gifu Prefecture. Rather than describing
one fixed aesthetic, the name encompasses ceramics
with a wide range of forms, glazes and decorative
approaches developed across the region over more
than 1,300 years.
Why is Mino ware so diverse?
Mino developed as a large ceramic-producing region
rather than around one narrowly defined style.
Generations of potters experimented with different
clays, firing methods, shapes and glazes, creating
a tradition in which rustic tea wares, expressive
glazes and practical everyday tableware can all
belong to the same ceramic family.
What are Shino and Oribe?
Shino and Oribe are two of the best-known ceramic
traditions associated with Mino. Shino is celebrated
for its soft white glaze, subtle texture and often
understated decoration, while Oribe is known for
expressive forms and distinctive green, black and
painted surfaces. Together with Kiseto and Setoguro,
they are closely associated with the celebrated
Momoyama-period tea ceramics of the Mino region.
Where is Mino ware made?
Mino ware is produced primarily in the Tōnō area
of eastern Gifu Prefecture, including major ceramic
centres such as Tajimi, Toki and Mizunami.
The region remains one of Japan's most important
centres of ceramic and tableware production today.
