Our main sometsuke products have been a traditional technique that Mitsumine Toen has excelled at since its founding. From powerful brushwork that looks like hand-painting to soft, gentle coloring, the technique is so high that it's hard to believe it's mass-produced. We are a mass production manufacturer that continues to produce Mino ware, familiar to everyday life, with excellent design and quality.
