Gyotaku or “fish impression” is the ancient Japanese folk art of painting fish. The first Gyotaku prints were created to preserve the true record and size of species caught by Japanese anglers as far back as 1862.

Suminagashi or “floating ink” originated in Japan in the 12th century and is believed to be the oldest form of marbling.Japanese masters created patterns by floating ink on water and then transferred the one-of-a-kind image to paper.
