"Blue Cuttlefish" Gyotaku by DARKOI

Gyotaku is an ancient Japanese art that involves taking the imprint of a fish using Indian ink, squid ink or colored paint.
 The fish is carefully prepared on a table and coated with ink. Very thin Japanese paper is then applied.
 By carefully removing the paper, you get the print. This technique was invented in the 19th century by Japanese fishermen to keep a souvenir of their best catches.
 Darkoi's gyotaku are not retouched as required by the real method, hence the great difficulty in obtaining a beautiful result without artifice. Only the eye is repainted in order to "bring back to life" the fish, as tradition dictates.
 Darkoï has the honor of being the student of 2 masters.
