{"title":"Yamatsu — Mino Ware Teaware from Toki City","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eShinzan-gama Yamatsu has been making ceramics in Toki City, Gifu Prefecture, since 1868. Over 150 years, the kiln has built its reputation on something quietly radical: the idea that good tableware doesn't need to be the centre of attention. Ceramics, in Yamatsu's philosophy, are the supporting cast — not competing with the food on the table or the flowers in the room, but creating the conditions for both to shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eMino ware comes from the region responsible for more than half of Japan's ceramic tableware production. It is home to hundreds of kilns and generations of specialist craftspeople, and Yamatsu has worked alongside all of them — contributing to a tradition that is still very much alive and still producing work of genuine quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eWe carry a small selection of their teaware at Karintō Edition.
