| Raku pottery dates to the 16th century when noted tile maker, Chojiro, was commissioned to create free-formed tea bowls for the traditional wabi tea ceremony. Initially, these bowls made by Chojiro were called "ima-yaki"; later the name Raku surfaced, in recognition of the family producing these Japanese wares in the mid 1500's. During the later half of the 20th century many ceramic artists explored the nuances of Raku firing. Today's Raku pottery creations are the result of typically low temperature firings; application of lead glazes or synthetic lead glazes; spontaneous removal of pieces from the kiln while still glowing; and placement of pieces in sealed containers enabling oxidation reduction |
| which yields metallic images. |
