Gyotaku, Japanese Fish Printing
Tuesday November 25 | 1:00pm – 2:00pm
Ages 6-11 | Porter Hall
Developed in the 1800s, Gyotaku is an art form that is rumored to have originated with a practical purpose: Japanese fishermen who were in competition would cover the side of their catch in ink and make a print. While these prints can still be seen hanging in tackle shops around Japan, the practice has morphed into a celebrated art form.
We won’t be using real fish (we don’t like wasting food!) but instead have purchase lifelike models made for this purpose.
No registration is needed; this is a drop-in program.
