An oyster in the half shell gyotaku print that please the oyster lover in your life.
This life size reproduction has been printed on handmade Japanese washi paper. The same type of paper I use for the originals.

Faithful to the original Japanese style of creating memorable prints; simple and monochromatic.
Handsome and would be VERY stunning behind a glass frame on any wall of ones home, office, or especially at a fine restaurant that serves these delicacies.

Gyotaku is the traditional Japanese alternative to Taxidermy that began several hundred years ago by an ingenious calligrapher. Meant as a way to record a proud catch for fishermen, it is also a stunning art form. All of my prints are done in the old, traditional "direct" method where Sumi ink is applied directly onto the fish and then covered with Washi paper to produce an exact, mirror image of the specimen.

If you like one of my images but prefer it in a different size, simply inquire and I will do my best to cater to your wishes. Anything is possible up to 60 inches, as well as printing on different materials such as canvas or even Japanese washi paper.

Frame is not included, however we offer custom framing services to float mount your artwork inside a beautiful dark corkwood shadowbox frame.
Photos of framed pieces represent our framing work. If framed, we will crop the artwork to remove the white border.
Please note that framing will take 1-3 weeks to complete and customers outside of the US will be given price quotes for shipping after sale.

Please don't hesitate store in contacting me regarding this print or other specimens that you may be looking for!
