Artisan & Craft
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.

Because each bowl is shaped, glazed, 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

Indulge in the exquisite craftsmanship of the Oribe Full Matcha Experience Set, where each piece is artisan-made with meticulous attention to detail. Embrace the unique charm of these handcrafted items, as subtle differences and imperfections may appear. These nuances are not flaws; rather, they contribute to the character and individuality of your set, making it a truly one-of-a-kind addition to your collection. Celebrate the artistry behind every piece and enjoy a matcha experience that is as unique as you are.

Mino Ware – A Legacy of Japanese Ceramic Art

Mino ware (Minoyaki) is one of Japan’s oldest and most revered ceramic traditions, with roots stretching back over 1,300 years. Originating in the mountainous region of Gifu Prefecture, this pottery is celebrated not only for its rich history but also for the extraordinary craftsmanship that defines each piece.

Skilled artisans shape every bowl, cup, and plate by hand, using locally sourced clay and time-honored techniques passed down through generations. The unique glazing styles—from subtle earth tones to vibrant colors—are carefully applied and fired to create intricate textures, crackle patterns, and finishes that make each item one of a kind.

More than just tableware, Mino ware represents a deep connection to nature, simplicity, and the wabi-sabi aesthetic. Each piece is a quiet expression of balance—between utility and beauty, old and new. Whether used daily or saved for special moments, Mino ware brings the spirit of Japanese craftsmanship to your home.

FAQs

All you need to know about Japanese Mino Ware.

What is Mino ware?

Mino ware, or Minoyaki (美濃焼), refers to a traditional style of Japanese ceramics that originated in Gifu Prefecture over 1,300 years ago. It is one of Japan’s most prominent ceramic traditions and is known for its variety of styles, earthy aesthetics, and artisanal craftsmanship. Today, Mino ware accounts for the largest share of ceramic tableware production in Japan.

How is Mino ware made?

Each piece of Mino ware is handcrafted by skilled artisans using locally sourced clay. The process involves shaping the clay by hand or wheel, applying unique glazes, and firing it in kilns at high temperatures. The techniques used—such as Oribe, Shino, and Setoguro glazes—have been perfected over centuries to create the textures, colors, and finishes that define Mino ware.

What makes Mino ware different from other Japanese ceramics?

Unlike many other regional ceramics that follow a uniform aesthetic, Mino ware is known for its diversity. It encompasses over 15 officially recognized styles, ranging from rustic and natural to vibrant and contemporary. This flexibility makes Mino ware both deeply traditional and highly adaptable for modern use.

Is Mino ware safe for everyday use?

Yes, authentic Mino ware is made from food-safe materials and is generally safe for everyday dining. Most Mino ware sold today is microwave and dishwasher compatible, but because of its handcrafted nature, gentle handwashing is often recommended to preserve the glaze and texture.

Why is Mino ware valued by collectors and designers?

Collectors and interior designers appreciate Mino ware for its authenticity, heritage, and aesthetic depth. Each piece embodies the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi—beauty in imperfection—and offers a unique tactile and visual experience. The handcrafted nature of Mino ware ensures no two pieces are exactly alike, making them functional works of art.
