Three Key Styles: Jet-Black Seto-Guro Ware (Late 16th Century)

During the late sixteenth century, three styles became synonymous with Mino ware: Seto-guro, Kizeto, and Shino. The first of these to appear was Seto-guro (Seto black) ware, characterized by a deep-black glaze used predominantly on tea bowls.

Seto-guro is produced using a high-iron glaze. Pieces are pulled out of the kiln while still red hot, then rapidly cooled by plunging them in water, which gives them a glossy finish. Alternatively, they can be left to cool more slowly in the air to produce a more matte finish. Black glazes existed in Mino prior to the creation of Seto-guro, but producing a deep-black color was not possible until the introduction of kilns capable of reaching firing temperatures of 1200° Celsius, such as the anagama and ōgama.

Early examples of Seto-guro tea bowls are slightly rounded near the base, as seen in the bowl on the right. Later pieces have a distinctive cylindrical style with a low base, as seen on the left. Later still, the cylindrical style evolved into another subset of Mino ware called Oribe-guro (Oribe black), which combines the deep-black glaze of Seto-guro ware with the dramatic asymmetry of Oribe ware.

三大流派：漆黑的瀨戶黑（16世紀晚期）

16世紀晚期，美濃燒形成了三大主要流派：瀨戶黑、黃瀨戶和志野。其中，最早出現的是瀨戶黑，其特徵在於深黑色的釉面，多用於茶碗。

瀨戶黑為高鐵質釉面，趁陶器還紅亮滾燙時從窯中取出，浸入水中迅速冷卻，釉面就會光亮無比。如果讓器具留在窯中自然緩慢冷卻，則可形成較為暗淡的啞光釉面。黑釉在美濃地區出現得更早，但直到引進能將窯溫提升至1200℃的窖窯（穴窯）和大窯之後，才誕生了顏色更深的瀨戶黑。

如右側展品所示，早期的瀨戶黑茶碗底部略呈圓形。之後才如左側展品那樣，演變為獨特的圓柱形杯身和低矮碗足。後來，圓柱杯形中又分化出美濃燒的另一樣式「織部黑」，它將瀨戶黑的深黑釉面與「織部」獨特的不對稱形狀融為了一體。

三大流派：漆黑的濑户黑（16世纪晚期）

16世纪晚期，美浓烧形成了三大主要流派：濑户黑、黄濑户和志野。其中，最早成型的是濑户黑，其特征在于深黑色的釉面，多用于茶碗。

濑户黑为高铁质釉面，趁陶器还红亮滚烫时从窑中取出，浸入水中迅速冷却，釉面就会光亮无比。如果让器具留在窑中自然缓慢冷却，则可形成较为暗淡的哑光釉面。黑釉在美浓地区出现得更早，但直到引进了能将窑温提升至1200℃的窖窑（穴窑）和大窑之后，才诞生了颜色更深的濑户黑。

如右侧展品所示，早期的濑户黑茶碗底部略呈圆形。之后才如左侧展品那样，演变为独特的圆柱形杯身和低矮碗足。后来，圆柱杯形中又分化出美浓烧的另一样式“织部黑”，它将濑户黑的深黑釉面与“织部”独特的不对称形状融为了一体。
