Printing With Your Greatest Catch

Can we capture great meals with a piece of art? The ancient Japanese art form of Gyotaku has been memorializing fishermen’s “big catch” for centuries, now the art form has found new meaning in Hawaii in the hands of  Naoki Hayashi.

Fishing is a remarkable celebration of our relationship with nature; it’s a place to tell stories, enjoy the bounty of nature, and then share a meal with those we love. It’s no wonder that the fisherman’s tale of the “big catch” or the “one that got away” is so common across the globe—we love commemorating those special moments in life. So how do you capture them and still enjoy that fish you caught for dinner? Why not cover your catch in paint first and create beautiful art with it?
