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
