  • Gyotaku is the Japanese art of fish printing. That is, catching fish, painting them with ink and pressing them against washi paper, leaving behind their imprint. In ancient Japan, gyotaku would be used to settle fishing competitions. In this video, I explore the history of the art, the different processes of fish printing and gyotaku in modern-day Japan.

    imagine thinking you're about to eat and suddenly you're pulled up into the sky unable to breathe and a giant creature stars painting your body with ink, covers you with paper, wipes off the ink, then throws you back down. the other fish will never believe them. it's the equivalent of humans saying they were abducted by aliens.

    I prefer the traditional black and white images with no background.
    However I did like the idea of flicking ink onto the paper. I imagine this would provide a visual reference to stop the image floating in space.

    One Piece chapter 818 introduced fish printing to me for the first time back in 2016. Now that I watched this, I think I've been waiting without knowing for this video to drop ever since.

    Why they don't use edible pigment?

    • @ROANOKE01
      @ROANOKE01  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Good question! Some artists do use edible squid ink in their gyotaku, though rarely. Sumi ink however, made of soot and animal glue, has been first choice since gyotaku began, so in keeping with the traditional method that is what is primarily used.

      Most gyotaku artists will wash the fish afterwards, making it perfectly safe to eat.
