Gyotaku,
The Japanese Art of Fish Printing
I have been practicing the art form called Gyotaku ("gyu"
= fish, and "taku" = impression), the
Japanese Art of Fish Printing for about 10 years now.
Over the years I have given most of my art work away as gifts,
and have sold a few. I have decided to take my art to the next
level, and start One 4 Fish Prints to sell my
art work. Visit my
FishPrinting Shop...
Gyotaku (pronounced ghee-oh-tah-koo),
the Japanese art of fish printing originated in Japan over 100
years ago as a way of recording trophy catches prior to the modern
day camera. Today Gyotaku has become a popular art form enjoyed
by many, and the prints are said to bring good luck to fishermen.
