Mino Yaki, Gifu Prefecture
Mino Yaki, a type of ceramic ware, has been produced in the Tono area of Gifu Prefecture since the 5th century, when Sue ware, potter's wheels, and cellar kilns were introduced from the Korean Peninsula. The craft flourished during the Azuchi-Momoyama period (1573–1600) with the rise of the tea ceremony, inspiring a wide range of artistic pottery. Today, Mino Yaki remains one of Japan's most important ceramic production centers, accounting for over 50% of the nation’s output. It is notable for its diversity, with 15 distinct styles designated as traditional crafts.
