Sea and Scales

Sea and Scales We are now taking our original gyotaku images and reproducing them to offer other new and exciting ways to enjoy the art form.

Many of our products are hand sewn using natural fibers and embellishments. The initial medium of Gyotaku involves ink and acrylic paints transferred onto traditional Japanese rice paper. This art form reproduces the exact features and characteristics of actual, individual fish. In Japanese, "gyo" translates to "fish" and "taku" translates to "stone rubbing", which refers to the technique of fish

rubbing. Gyotaku originated in Japan in the early 1800's as a means to measure and record commercial fisherman's catch. Today, Gyotaku is an alternative to taxidermy and mounting fish, and has become a recognized form of art.
