The Fourth Raku - Ichinyu (1640-1696)
The son of the Third. Named Saheei, later Kichizaemon. He tried to follow the First in style, while incorporating his father's techniques. A glossy shine found within subdued colors is characteristic of his style.
The Fourteenth Raku - Kakunyu (1918-1980)
The first son of the Thirteenth. Graduated 1940 from Tokyo Bijutsu Gakkou (presently Tokyo University of the Arts) from the sculpture department. Upon graduation, he was drafted into the army. In 1945, he made it back to Japan alive, however, his father had passed the previous year and the practice of tea ceremony was also at a low point. From 1960 onwards, when the economy started to improve, his work also thrived. The three dimensional construction which utilized theories from sculpture are known as a characteristic of his work that was not present in other generations. In 1978, he opened the Raku Museum using historic documents of the Raku family. In the same year he was designated as an important intangible cultural property by the Agency of Cultural Affairs. While there were great expectations regarding his future, he passed away two years later.
