Gyotaku, or Japanese fish printing, was originally used to record and commemorate a fisherman’s catch.
Chokusetsu-ho, or the direct style, is the most similar to the original methodology.
Not only can this method result in pleasing illustration or fine art prints, but it is also used for fish identification and record keeping.
This piece is a comparative study of two "black bass" species; the Largemouth Bass (Micropterus salmoides) and the Smallmouth Bass (Micropterus dolomieu)
