The Raku family dates back to the 16th century, when the first black tea bowls were created at the request of tea master Sen no Rikyū. For centuries, the family has exclusively passed down the art of crafting Raku tea bowls from father to son. Raku ware is characterised by its simplicity, rustic aesthetic, and connection to the ‘wabi-cha’ philosophy. Fifteenth-generation Raku Jikinyu offers this imposing book as an homage to Austrian composer Alban Berg (1885–1935) and Japanese composer Toru Takemitsu (1930–1996). The series of ceramic vessels was inspired by music: the black rock tea bowls represent that of Berg while the white rock tea bowls draw from Takemitsu.
