自転車で樂美術館へThe Raku Museum in Kyoto is located in north central Kyoto, not far from the Imperial Palace.
It was founded in 1978 by Kakunyu (1918~1980), the 14th generation potter of the Raku family.
The Raku Museum has a collection that consists mainly of ceramics made by the many heads of the Raku family.
There are also documents and tea utensils.
The collection has been formed over 450 years - the oldest item we saw was made in 1598.
The Museum is located next to the family home/compound and is not far from the Urasenke Chado Research Center. It is on Aburanokoji Dori, south of Imadegawa.
The current head of the family, Raku Kichizaemon (1949 - ), is the fifteenth generation ceramicist to lead the Raku family.
