Minoyaki is a broad term that encompasses several styles of pottery with diverse colors, finishes, and enamels.
Some famous examples of Minoyaki are as follows: Hino-Yaki is rich black or brown, warm and earthy.
Oribe-Yaki is fresh with dark greens and fewer constraints on the traditional design.
KisetoYaki is known for light yellow and intriguing washes of green paints.
Setokuro is glossy and black, achieved with quick high-temperature firings.
The name Minoyaki itself references the Mino region where it originated, located in the present-day Gifu Prefecture with high concentrations of Minoyaki artisans in Toki City, Tajimi City, Mizunami City, Kani City.
Today the Mino region still produces over 50% of the pottery made in Japan.
In the rich and complex world of Japanese arts and aesthetics, Minoyaki is of great cultural value.
