Banko ware (萬古焼, Banko-yaki) is a type of Japanese stoneware that originated in the 18th century in Yokkaichi, Mie Prefecture. It is known for its durability and heat resistance, making it ideal for teapots, cookware, and other practical ceramics. Banko ware often features earthy tones and rustic, unglazed finishes. A unique characteristic is its ability to withstand direct heat, allowing it to be used on open flames for cooking. Many Banko teapots are also prized for their ability to enhance the flavor of tea.
