The set consists of a special teapot for Gyokuro green tea and two small Mino-yaki cups made by Shinji Akane (1960-), a master craftsman of traditional ware in Toki, Gifu Prefecture. The Kohiki style, characterized by its warm white color, is one of the most representative techniques of Mino ceramics. The base clay is coated with a white earth called shirokeshô (white makeup), and finished with a transparent glaze. Originally from Toki City, the center of Mino ceramic production and Japan's largest producer of ceramics and porcelain, Shinji Akane chooses local coarse-grained Gotomaki clay from Mino and seeks to create pieces that are rustic, warm, and easy to use.
