Hi All,
I don't know if I'm looking in the wrong places, but I haven't been able to
find much information on Japanese Raku and how to do it. If anyone out there
does Japanese Raku and can describe it, or knows of any good information
sources on it, can you please let me know?

Thanks very much,
Mike Martino
