MINO-YAKI production started in this area during Tumulus Period as the soil in MINO contains plenty of ingredients required for pottery. In Japan, MINO-YAKI is the most popular pottery. Its share now goes beyond 50% of the Japanese pottery market. You can find the largest concentration of MINO-YAKI potters at Toki city in Gifu prefecture. The history of Mino-yaki goes back to 1300yrs ago. The technique of Sueware was taught by Koreans. In Heian Periot (794-1185), the enamel made from ash (called "Shirashi") was introduced. This types of pottery became very popular and was produced all over Japan. During Kamakura Perion (2296-1333), people started making pottery without putting enamels on. By this time, the general public also started to use Mino-yaki in daily life. In Muromach (1336-1573) to Momoyama Period (1573-1603), many different enamels were invented. The major Mino-yaki variations; Shino, Kiseto, Seto-kuro were born in this time. In seventeenth century, people started building kilns in steep mountains. Building kilns in steep mountains were a revolutionary idea and it made Mino-yaki easier to make. A samurai who was also an expert in tea ceremony, Oribe Furuta made many Mino-yakis. Mino-yaki which Oribe made were name as "Oribe". Mino-yaki has been changing with the culture in that time and will continue to improve with our life.Acceptable forms of Payment:Paypal OnlyShipping cost and handling:USD7.99 by regular airmail to worldwideResponsiveness:If you have any questions, please do not feel hesitate to contact us, response will be handled within 48 hours
