This fully English-language edition explores over 450 years of the Raku ceramic tradition, tracing its origins from the meeting of tea master Sen no Rikyū and the first-generation potter Chōjirō.
The book presents approximately 200 representative works from the Raku lineage, spanning from the first generation to the 16th head, Kichizaemon Raku. It offers a comprehensive look at the evolution of Raku ware and its deep connection to the Japanese tea ceremony.
A revised and updated edition of the 2015 publication “RAKU: A Legacy of Japanese Tea Ceramics,” this volume is an essential reference for collectors, ceramic enthusiasts, and those interested in Japanese art and culture.
