Gyotaku reproduction fish print of an Oyster in the Half Shell from France 11X14
Faithful to the original Japanese style of creating memorable prints for the avid fisherman; simple and monochromatic.
Gyotaku is the traditional Japanese alternative to taxidermy that began several hundred years ago by an ingenious calligrapher.
Meant as a way to record a proud catch for fishermen, it can also be a stunning art form.
All of the reproduction prints that I offer are museum grade Giclee prints on premium art rag papers (similar in feel to hot pressed watercolor paper) or handmade washi paper (same type we use for original artwork).
Shadowbox Frames:
The art is float mounted inside a charcoal colored, Italian corkwood veneer, shadowbox frame. This is our preferred way of framing an original or a reproduction gyotaku piece. The piece is showcased as if it were an artifact or a fossil. Formal and classical in appearance.
Silk Scrolls:
A different method in displaying our work is the wall scroll. Crafted using beautifully brocaded silk and traditional techniques. This option is only available for originals and reproduction prints on washi paper.
If you like one of my images but prefer it in a different size, simply inquire and I will do my best to cater to your wishes. Anything is possible up to 70 inches, as well as printing on different materials such as canvas or even Japanese washi paper.
Framing take 1-3 weeks to complete. Customers outside of the US will be given price quotes for shipping after sale.
Please don’t hesitate in contacting me regarding this print or other specimens that you may be looking for here.
