Currently, Mino ware accounts for approximately 50% of Japan's total ceramic production (Gifu Economic and Industrial Promotion Centre, 2017 Ceramic Industry).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMino ware has a long history of over 1,300 years, believed to have begun at the end of the 7th-century Kofun period in the Tono region of Gifu Prefecture, when hard stoneware Sueki was fired in anagama kilns, an ancient style of hillside kiln.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore the First World War, European countries exported tableware throughout the world. However, they became unable to manufacture these products due to the war, which led to the growth of Japanese exports. Consequently, in south-east Gifu, where the ceramics industry was already active, the number of manufacturers and the size of facilities increased further. After the Second World War, some potters proved that Momoyama-to ceramics were derived from the Mino region, which led to an increase in the number of Mino ceramicists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCurrently, the Tono region (south-east of Gifu) holds the largest share of pottery production in Japan.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NISHIKIDORI 2026","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54111392006477,"sku":"NISVICH10","price":123.33,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/6438\/8941\/files\/VICH10-s.webp?v=1782227308","url":"https:\/\/www.nishikidori.com\/en\/products\/rare-handcrafted-tokkuri-sake-flask-for-cold-or-hot-sake","provider":"Nishikidori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
