Musashi Kiln

Specializing in the creation of Mino ware, Tsujii Musashi established Musashi Kiln in 2006 in Mizunami City, Gifu Prefecture. While crafting his unique pottery, he also engages in agricultural activities, drawing inspiration for his designs from nature. Elements such as wheat and aquatic plants are incorporated into his patterns. The tableware he creates offers a natural and comfortable sensation, both in its appearance and its texture.

Mino ware, crafted in Gifu Prefecture's Tono region, is renowned among Japanese pottery for its rich heritage and versatility. It features over fifteen distinct styles, making it more varied than many other Japanese ceramics. 

Now accounting for over 50 percent of Japan's ceramic production, its popularity is unmatched. Designated as a traditional craft in 1978, Mino ware reflects a blend of historical depth and modern relevance, exemplifying exceptional craftsmanship.
