Traces the history of the raku-ware tradition in Japan and reveals its influence on the Western decorative arts of the 20th century. The author distinguishes between technological characteristics of the Raku family ware and the meaning of the “rakuware” term coined in the West for the particular artistic style and demonstrates the contribution of the Raku ware to the development of contemporary decorative arts.
