The Twelveth Raku - konyu (1857-1932)
The first son of the Eleventh. Inherited the family headship in 1871, but due to a period of deterioration for tea ceremonies. There are very few works from when he was young, but he produced many works later in his life. He retired in 1919 and led an elegant life henceforth, going back and forth between his main residence in Kyoto and the villa of the Ninth in Ishiyama in the Shiga prefecture.

For UK Customers

Recently, we’ve been having trouble with UK postal services. There have been frequent occurrences of packages being returned without notice.
I contacted the post office and they explained that even though they give notices to customers, the customers don’t come to pick up their package. However, it seems they don’t contact customers or leave a calling card practically since many of them have complained about never receiving a package or even a notice from the post office to me.
Additionally, in the past, the post office would keep packages for 2 weeks before sending them back but now, they only keep them for 1 week.
In order to solve this issue, UK residents will be sent an email notifying them that their package has arrived at the post office. If the package hasn’t arrived on time, UK residents should contact their local post office for more information.
