Kuroraku Maccha Bowl (Kyoto Prefecture, Kiyomizuyaki)
Rakuyaki
or Raku is a form of Japanese pottery characterized by low firing temperatures
(resulting in a fairly porous body) and the removal of pieces from the kiln while
still glowing hot.
In the traditional Japanese firing process, the pot is
removed from the hot kiln and put directly into water or allowed to cool in open
air. Raku is considered the traditional method of creating bowls for Japanese
tea ceremony and ranks at the top among tea bowls used for Japanese tea ceremony.
Raku techniques have been adopted and modified by contemporary potters worldwide.
