In the drying process of paste, we have experimentally found a method to imprint into paste the direction of future crack propagation. In the method, we vibrate the paste before it is dried. As the paste dries, an anisotropic crack pattern, such as a lamellar crack pattern, appears with the directions of these cracks all perpendicular to the direction of the initial vibration. By performing rheological measurement of paste and by making a morphological phase diagram of crack patterns, we find that the plasticity of paste plays an important role in the memory effect.
