Artisan & Craft
The bowl in this set is made using Mino ware, a traditional Japanese ceramic style produced in Gifu Prefecture for over 1,300 years. Mino pottery is widely used in Japanese tea culture and valued for its durability, natural textures, and refined glazes.
The bowl features a sakura (cherry blossom) motif, a seasonal symbol in Japanese art that reflects the cultural connection between tea and nature. Each piece is shaped, glazed, and decorated individually, so slight variations in color, pattern, and texture naturally occur. These differences are part of the character of handmade Japanese ceramics and highlight the craftsmanship behind every bowl.

These distinctive features celebrate the craftsmanship behind each item, ensuring that your matcha rituals are as special and one-of-a-kind as this exquisite set itself.

Mino ware · Gifu, Japan
Mino ware: 1,300 years of ceramic innovation
Made across the Tōnō region of eastern Gifu,
Mino ware is not defined by a single look.
Its strength lies in remarkable diversity.
More than 1,300 years of ceramic production
reached an especially creative period around
the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries,
when Shino, Oribe, Kiseto and Setoguro helped
reshape the aesthetics of Japanese tea ware.
That freedom of form, glaze and expression
remains at the heart of Mino ceramics today.
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.
