The Los Angeles County Museum of Art presents Raku: The Cosmos
in a Tea Bowl (March 29–June 7, 2015). This exhibition comprises nearly 100 masterpieces with examples from all 15 generations and the next generation
of the Raku family, whose celebrated legacy continues to influence global ceramics. In the West, the term "raku" refers to a quick, low-fire technique for
making ceramics that is often used to teach beginners. This technique traces back to a Japanese family of potters or, more specifically, to the originator of
the technique, Raku I (Chōjirō), who lived in the 1500s. Since then, for over 400 years a single person named Raku has represented each of the 15
generations as a Raku Master.
