Gyotaku is the traditional Japanese art of fish printing. The art form dates to the mid-1800s and was once a way for fishermen to brag about the size of their catches. The process is literally what it sounds like: ink is applied to a fish which is then pressed onto paper.
In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn the art of gyotaku and make their own fish prints using replica fish. They will also get to go on a special guided tour of the Samurai: Sunrise, Sunset exhibition.
