Gyotaku, or Japanese fish printing, was originally used to record and commemorate a fisherman’s catch.
Kansetsu-ho, or the indirect style, is is most useful with printing of finely scaled and detailed fish species.
Not only can this method result in a fine art print or a pleasing illustration, but can also be used for fish identification and record keeping.
This is an indirect Gyotaku print of a China Rockfish , (Sebastes nebulosus)
