From the Artist:

The technique is called Gyotaku, "gyo" meaning fish and "taku" meaning rubbing. This method of fish printing originated in the mid-19thcentury as a way for fisherman to record the size and characteristics of their daily catches. Some created them to track their trophies and others used them to showcase their inventory to local fish markets and customers.
Traditional Supplies

To create an authentic gyotaku you use washi paper which is made from fibers of the Gampi Tree, Mulberry bush, Bamboo, Hemp, Rice and other natural materials. My favorite mediums are rice paper and silk. The ink used is known as Sumi ink. Which is a water-based ink made from carbon. For the "brush" a tampo is used, which is a piece of foam with a handle.
My Own Twist

Gyotaku is special because there is little waste. I use the fish that I catch myself, or that friends provide to me. When the catch is fresh, I will filet one half to eat or give it away to customers and friends. Gyotaku is a beautiful way to capture the fine details of your catch.
