The photograph depicts the Japanese National Living Treasure Kenji Suda working at his atelier. The master woodworker specialises in Japanese joinery, sashimono, using only wood to join and assemble various parts. The joints created by Suda are meticulous pieces of work, purposefully hidden as a demonstration of the artisan's skills.
