Gyotaku (gyo "fish" + taku "rubbing") is a form of nature printing which developed in Japan during the mid-1800s. Fisherman originally took their fish to a Painter and used the technique to record the size of their catch. Actual fish were covered with pigment and rice paper was rubbed over them, creating an imprint on the thin paper which was both practical and intrinsically beautiful. Texture and color is added to the fish, by painting on the image after the print has been made. Every print is a unique and original piece of art.
