Rakuyaki is a soft-type glazed ceramic ware baked after formed not by an electric potter's wheel or kerokuro (a kicking potter's wheel), but just by the hands with the clay on a pallet called tezukune (handmade.)
楽焼（らくやき）は、一般的に電動轆轤や足で蹴って回す蹴轆轤（けろくろ）を使用せず手とへらだけで成形する「手捏ね」（てづくね）と呼ばれる方法で成形した後焼成した軟質施釉陶磁器。
