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.

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.
