 Product History

When did these crafts start to craft?：1300 years ago / 700AD / Yamato period in Japan

Mino ware is the general term for ceramics produced in the eastern region of Mino Province (present-day Gifu Prefecture). In fact, it is said that approximately 50% of the ceramics produced in Japan are Mino ware. Many of the dishes indispensable for Japanese cuisine and cups used for drinking tea are made in Mino, making it the most familiar craft in our daily lives.

Craftsman Passion

"The source of ideas is to take initiative action"
Whether in Japan or abroad, I visit hotels, inns, restaurants and any other places where plates are used, see the space, and always think about what kind of dishes would go well with it. I believe that "seeing and feeling with your own eyes" leads to all ideas. I will go on to develop products by combining my awareness and past experiences.
