Mino Ware

Mino ware refers to pottery traditionally made in Japan’s eastern Gifu Prefecture, primarily in Tajimi, Toki, Mizunami, and Kani. This ancient method of producing elegant, durable ceramics has roots going back over 1300 years to Japan’s Kofun period in the 7th century. Typically found nested into the mountainsides, the unique kilns used to produce Mino ware are often referred to as anagama kilns, and the master artisans producing these stunning products continue to adhere to rigid standards to produce only the highest quality ceramics.

Teacup

Japanese teacups called yunomi jawan (湯呑み茶碗) are designed for enjoying hot green tea like sencha, hojicha, and genmaicha. Selecting a teacup that suits your preferences can enhance your enjoyment of this traditional beverage. How the cup looks, feels, and even sounds are important factors to consider. The cup's shape, height, and width can affect the tea's aroma, too. Consider the material, thickness, texture, glaze, style, and decoration of the cup to best suit the occasion and your mood. Japanese teacups are fun to collect and make a special gift for fans of Japanese green tea.
