Curated with a Focus on Quality & Rarity

Gyotaku started in the latter end of the samurai era, when fishermen would document their catch by brushing sumi ink onto the fish, placing paper on top and rubbing over it to create a print.

Over the years, gyotaku has evolved from rough prints into a fine art with many pieces we offer having been displayed in museums around the world.

Beyond museum walls, gyotaku is utilized by scientific organizations who request our featured artists to document rare fish thru gyotaku before their scientific testing begins.

*Featured artists include master gyotaku artist Dwight Hwang (USA) and Elena Di Capita (Italy).
