Inspired by the exchange with new cultures, such as the introduction of ceramics from China and Europe, new glazed pottery was born in the Mino region of Gifu Prefecture (present-day Kukuri, Kani City) during the Azuchi-Momoyama period. Vessels of various colors were fired, captivating many people, including merchants and warlords, along with the spread of the tea ceremony. Mino Momoyama pottery is a groundbreaking presence in the history of Japanese ceramics and is also said to be the most innovative type of pottery. Although it was only fired for a short period of 20 to 30 years, it blossomed during a turning point in Japanese art and brought about a transformation in the aesthetic sense of the people at the time.
