Artisan & Craft
The bowl in this set is made using Mino ware, a traditional ceramic style from Gifu Prefecture that has been produced in Japan for more than 1,300 years. Mino pottery is widely used for tea utensils and is valued for its durability, refined glazes, and handcrafted character.
It features a Tenmoku glaze, an iron-rich finish known for its deep brown to near-black tones and glossy surface. During high-temperature firing, the glaze develops subtle variations in color and depth, giving each bowl a rich, natural appearance.
The interior plum blossom motif adds a traditional decorative element often seen in Japanese ceramics. Because every bowl is shaped, glazed, and fired individually, slight differences in color and texture naturally occur, highlighting the craftsmanship behind each piece.

Each set is unique, showcasing subtle differences and charming imperfections that add to its character and allure. These variations are not flaws; rather, they reflect the individual craftsmanship and the natural materials used, making your matcha experience truly one-of-a-kind. Embrace the beauty of artisanal creation with this exquisite set, where every cup tells its own story.

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.
