Shino (pronounced, shee-noh) refers to a family of glazes and style of ware originating in the Mino and Seto regions in the Momoyama era (1573-1614) of Japan.  Carbon trapped under the surface of a glaze or clay body, giving it a black or gray appearance. Caused by putting the kiln in reduction as early as cone 012 and creating a smoky atmosphere before the clay or glaze surface seals up.
