Fish Prints

Fish Prints are something you have to see to believe. It is an art form that originated in ancient Japan. It is called Gyotaku. The way it works, is the fish is laid on the table and arranged with his fins and tail all looking as natural as possible.
Then he is inked with a special kind of ink. Once the fish is inked, the cloth is placed onto the fish and pressed down. This transfers the ink from the fish to the cloth, and a fish print is born! Actually, it is a bit more complicated than that, but that is the basic idea.
Anyway, you really have to see these to believe them. I have included a few pictures but they really don't do justice to the beauty of these creations.
