Gyotaku, or Japanese fish printing, was originally used to record and commemorate a fisherman’s catch.
Kansetsu-ho, or the indirect style, is suited for fine scaled specimens.

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 Print was printed on Habotai Silk and wetmounted over a Washi background on stretched canvas.
