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 the open air. Raku
is considered the traditional method for creating bowls for the Japanese tea ceremony
and ranks at the top among tea bowls that are used for the Japanese tea ceremony.
Raku techniques have been adopted and modified by contemporary potters worldwide.
