Tajimi

Among the cities of Gifu Prefecture, Tajimi stands out as one of Japan’s leading centres of Mino ware ceramics. Set in the Tōnō area beside the Toki River, it belongs to a pottery district whose kilns and workshops have shaped local life for centuries. Tea bowls, tableware and tiles made here reflect the varied traditions grouped under Mino ware, including the influential Momoyama-period styles of Oribe and Shino. The Mosaic Tile Museum Tajimi records another local craft through collections devoted to architectural tiles.
