MINO POTTERY
The Mino region is recognized as Japan’s premier ceramic production center. With a history spanning over 1,000 years, it has developed a wide variety of pieces suited to the styles of each era.
Among Japan’s 15 traditional craft styles, four types—Setoguro, Kiseto, Shino, and Oribe—stand out for their balanced colors and have become emblematic of Mino ceramics.
Continuing this tradition inherited from the time it was affectionately nicknamed "Hyôgemono" (meaning "objects full of charm"), we offer tableware designed for modern daily use to be passed down to future generations.
Discover the beauty of Mino ceramics, which have accompanied Japanese tables for over 1,000 years, through the combination of ancient and contemporary techniques, clay, and glazes.
Dive into the aesthetic world of the Heuge style with this collection.
The four iconic colors of Mino ceramics—the glossy black of Setoguro, the soft natural white of Shino, the deep and understated green of Oribe, and the warm yellow of Kiseto—have been passed down for a millennium.
They are ideal for enhancing the ingredients of Japanese cuisine.
Chopsticks: 23 cm. Chopstick rest: Φ45 × H10 mm.

The wood of Fukui, the land of Mino
This set brings together two Japanese workshops. The chopsticks come from Fukui, made of natural wood coated with lacquer, and measure 23 cm, a length easy to handle. The chopstick rest is made of Mino ceramics, the region where CHIPS sources its clays and colors. The four colors of the series—the glossy black of Setoguro, the creamy white of Shino, the deep green of Oribe, and the warm yellow of Kiseto—are the traditional colors of Mino ceramics, passed down for over 1,000 years. Stored in their box, the two pieces are ready to be gifted as they are.
