Masaru Emoto was the first Japanese scientist that began to create a photographic record of water structuring as it takes place in the water crystal.

He created a method where water was frozen and photographed at 200-500 magnifications so that crystalline forms were captured.

By repeating the experiments over and over again, he began to see consistent patterns emerge with these different structured waters, whereas with random water there would be chaotic crystalline structure or none at all.
