Welcome to Aquatic Impressions, your source for quality Gyotaku fish art. Our Gallery contains our ever growing list of original Gyotaku, as well as our limited edition prints.

Gyotaku [Gyo- meaning fish, and Taku- meaning rubbing or impression] is a traditional form of fish printing. In the 1800's, fishermen in Japan would cover a fish with ink and press rice paper onto it. When removed, the exact mirror image of the fish would remain.

Fred takes this a step further by using acrylic paint and cloth or different types of handmade paper, to capture as much vivid color and detail as possible.
