We got to learn about an ancient Japanese Art form called Gyotaku (J...apanese , from gyo "fish" + taku "rubbing"). NowThis traditional Japanese method of printing fish, a practice which dates back to the mid-1800s. This form of nature printing may have been used by fishermen to record their catches, but has now become an art form of its own. See more
