Gyotaku [“Gyo” meaning fish, and “Taku” meaning rubbing or impression] is a traditional form of fish printing. In the 1800’s, fisherman in Japan would cover a fish with ink and press rice paper onto it. When removed, the exact mirror image of the fish would remain. Fred takes his Gyotaku fish art a step further by using acrylic paint and cloth, or different types of handmade paper, to capture as much vivid color and detail as possible in each fish rubbing.
