This is an Original, Hand made African Pompano Gyotaku made with Acrylic ink on Thai Mulberry paper. The eye is meticulously painted to match the real thing with watercolor paints.
Each Original is hand signed and marked with my Japanese Hanko (Name Stamp). Be advised, The original you receive will be different, but very similar to those in the photos.
This fish was printed for Joseph. This was a beautiful fish he shot during a spearfishing tournament.
Gyotaku prints are a unique, artisanal form of documenting and remembering a prized catch that began in Japan in the mid-1800's. They are a wonderful physical representation of a cherished memory you had while catching or hunting these beautiful fish. Gyotaku prints make great talking points and are perfect starters for wild fish tales.
