GYOTAKU
Gyo= fish; Taku= impression
"The fish I caught was thiiiis big!"
Everyone has a fish tale to tell, but how doyou know how big the fish really was? In Japan, the ancient art of taking prints from fish waws called gyotaku and was developed int he 1800's to accurately document fish size. A fish is inked, then paper is pressed onto it to make a print.
