Gyotaku is the traditional Japanese art of fish printing, originally used by fishermen in the 1800s to record their catch. The process involves applying ink or paint directly to the fish, then pressing it onto paper or fabric to create a detailed impression. Each print captures the unique size, shape, and texture of the fish — turning a once-in-a-lifetime catch into a lasting piece of art.
What is Gyotaku?
Each print starts with a real fish caught in the Gulf Coast or river waters, carefully painted and pressed onto fine paper or archival fabric using the traditional Japanese method of gyotaku. Hand-painted details and optional custom framing finish each piece, preserving the memory forever.
