The photograph depicts the Japanese National Living Treasure Imaemon Imaizumi XIV working at his atelier. Imaizumi XIV, master overglaze artisan of Nabeshima ware, has chosen the sumi-hajiki technique as his primary method. The master draws patterns with Indian ink, and then adds a layer of white glaze pigment to the ceramic. The patterns drawn with the ink repel the glaze pigment and, when fired, the ink burns and disappears. As a result, patterns appear against the pigment glaze.
