Gyotaku fish printing is a traditional Japanese art form that captures the detailed imprint of real fish on rice paper. This one-hour experience offers a hands-on cultural dive into this fascinating technique, which dates back to 19th-century Japan. Originally used by fishermen to document their catch, Gyotaku has evolved into a beautiful method of artistic expression.
