Sometsuke (染付)
Literally meaning "apply dye," sometsuke refers to exclusively cobalt-colored pigment applied under a colorless glaze on porcelain vessels. Sometsuke is frequently applied through stenciling (染付型紙 / sometsuke katagami) or transferprinting (染付銅板 / sometsuke doban) but unless otherwise specified refers to hand-painted decoration (Crueger et al. 2006:29,295).
