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 the 15 traditional craft styles of Mino, four types, Setoguro, Kiseto, Shino, and Oribe, stand out for their balanced colors and have become iconic 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 everyday modern 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, date back to the Momoyama period, over 400 years ago.

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 a urethane polyester varnish, and measure 23 cm, a length easy to handle. The chopstick rest is made of Mino porcelain, 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, inherited from the Momoyama period over 400 years ago. Stored in their box, the two pieces are ready to be gifted as they are.
