Raku (japanese for "enjoyment")
Japanese pottery style, traditionally used for the tea ceremony. The term nowadays refers more commonly to the firing technique, which involves low firing of pots (about 1800 F) and their removal glowing hot from the kiln to cool in the air or inside a closed chamber filled with combustibles. Raku ware is characterised by a porous body, black unglazed areas, black crackles in the glaze, and/or strong metallic lusters.
