MINO WARE

Mino ware

Mino ware (Mino yaki in Japanese) is a type of Japanese pottery produced primarily in the towns of Tajimi, Toki, Mizunami, and Kani in eastern Gifu Prefecture. The large variety of pottery in Mino ware is a distinguishing feature. Mino ware does not have a single style, but rather over 15 different styles of pottery that have been designated as traditional handicrafts. Mino boasts the highest volume of ceramic production in Japan.
