More about RAKU from Pepe:

"RAKU appreciate the various moods and sentiments suggested by the snow, the moon, and the trees and flowers, as they go through the transformation of seasons, appearing and disappearing, blooming and withering.

If RAKU uses his sword, he makes it serve to give life to others. And while fought on many battlefields his true passion and mastery is brewing the finest and most delicious tea in all the seven woods. You can watch him listen quietly to the boiling water in the kettle, which sounds like a breeze passing through the pine needles. Legend has it that if you drink a bowl of tea together with RAKU you will become oblivious of all worldly woes and worries."
