What is Minoyaki?
Minoyaki refers to a type of Japanese pottery that originates from the Mino area, which is now part of Gifu Prefecture. It's known for its high-quality ceramics and encompasses several styles, including Shino, Oribe, and Setoguro, each with distinctive glazing techniques and aesthetic qualities. Minoyaki became especially famous during the Momoyama period (1568-1600) and has been a significant part of Japanese ceramic art ever since. These pieces are often used in tea ceremonies and everyday life due to their durability and beauty.
