Scope note
Refers to a variety of styles of ceramics produced in the Mino Province from the 7th century to the present. Early wares can be traced from Sue ware, but in the 12th century under the influence of the Sanage kilns, productions included large-mouth jars, small-mouth jars, and mortars. From the 15th to the mid-16th century, ash-glazed and iron-glazed utensils were produced. By the end of the 16th century, production was revolutionized by the introduction of multi-chambered kilns, resulting in tea ceremony wares that included green glaze and feldspathic glaze, with a wide variety of painted shapes and decorations. By the 19th century, underglazed blue decorated wares were produced.
