Gyotaku is a Japanese technique for printing fish. In the late 1800’s, Japanese fishermen would take a fish from the days catch, ink the fish to make a print, and hang it up at the market as an advertisement of their day’s catch. Now it is considered an art form. This is a Redfish that we caught in The Gulf of Mexico while kayak fishing. It’s printed on 18×26-inch rice paper. The fish measures 20-inches.
