Experience 450 years of Raku ware—the art of the tea bowl, passed down through sixteen generations.
The Raku family has been crafting tea-ceremony bowls for over 450 years since the founder, Chōjirō, first began working with the great tea master Sen no Rikyū. This definitive compilation presents some 200 masterpieces of Raku pottery by successive family heads from Chōjirō to the sixteenth Kichizaemon, illuminating the efforts of each to reflect the sensibilities of his era and pursue his own distinctive brand of beauty. The volume also contains an introduction by the fifteenth-generation head, Jikinyū, along with biographies of all sixteen heads and commentaries on works.
This book is a revised edition of RAKU: A Legacy of Japanese Tea Ceramics, originally published by Seigensha in 2015.
