Mino Matcha Bowl (Gifu Prefecture)

Mino ceramic ware was historically made in the town of Tajimi in the old province of Mino (now the south-eastern part of Gifu Prefecture). Sueki-ware from the seventh century has been discovered in the area, and Mino was mentioned by name in 905 CE as a place for fine, ash-glazed stoneware. During the Kamakura and Muromachi periods, the use of the potter’s wheel, as well as a greater variety of glazes, generated more sophisticated pottery in styles initially derived from China. The excavation of Mino ceramics from Daimyo residences throughout Japan testifies to their popularity in all following eras of Japan’s history. This bowl belongs to a long tradition of high quality pottery from the region.

Measurements: upper diameter 98 m, height 65 mm, lower diameter 47 mm

Weight: 200 g

Capacity: about 250 ml

Kizo Nakata was born in 1940 in Takayama, Ikoma, Nara Prefecture.

Though he was the son of a rice farmer, at the age of 14, he was sent to acquire skillful hands by learning to make whisks as an apprentice. After 6 years of study, he continued to learn various techniques before becoming independent at the age of 25.

In 1975, he founded the Kizo Nakata company, which presently produces about half of Japan’s whisks.
