Handmade in Gifu, Japan | Minoware 美濃焼 – Oribe Style

This Large Natural Clay and Oribe Green Chawan is handcrafted in Gifu Prefecture, the birthplace of Japan’s Minoware tradition. Its rich clay body and flowing Oribe green glaze create a striking, earthy contrast — full of natural variation that reflects the artist’s hand and the spirited character of Oribe ware.

Shaped with generous curves and a grounded weight, it’s designed for an effortless whisk and a smooth, creamy matcha — perfect for daily ritual or mindful tea ceremony.

Minoware has been produced in Gifu for more than 1,300 years, flourishing through Japan’s tea culture of the Momoyama period, when the bold Oribe style first emerged. Today, this tradition continues to blend expressive beauty with practical function, making each piece both a work of art and a vessel for everyday use.

A chawan rich with history, crafted to deepen your matcha experience.
