Gyotaku is a traditional Japanese art form that is highly unique. It is the art of creating a print of a fish using an actual fresh-caught fish. The word gyotaku itself is a combination of two separate words—gyo, which means ‘fish’, and taku, which means rubbing. As its name indicates, gyotaku is an art form that produces imprints of the fish through the method of rubbing.
