Gyotaku Technique




An intermediate stop for the two fish I kept to eat on their journey from the end of a fishing pole to the grill (and then my stomach).

I sought wisdom from my Gyotaku Master - Bong. He graciously obliged and within a couple of hours, I learned the ways of the sumi ink fish printing (even though I started before he did, he has clearly been kicking my @ss - see one of the recent posts) dudes.

We prepared and printed both the parrotfish (on the table in the pictures) and the papio. Well, he prepared and printed them - and after screwing up a bunch of times, I finally produced a successful print.

Practice totally makes perfect when you are talking about gyotaku. And fishing. And cooking (next post)
