Juraku - Juraku

Japanese: 十楽 - じゅうらく
Juraku - Juraku
A Buddhist term referring to the ten joys one can experience in paradise. In the Warring States period, ports and towns where merchants from various countries could freely trade were also described as ten pleasure ports and ten pleasure towns. Just as free markets and free places meant free business activities, in the Middle Ages, "ten pleasures" and "raku" came to mean freedom.
