A Hawaiian Ono (Wahoo) Worth Hanging on Your Wall

Gyotaku dates back to 1800s Japan where fishermen recorded their catches by pressing inked fish onto paper. Dwight Hwang has elevated this tradition into fine art, earning international recognition for his precise and detailed prints.

Known as Ono in Hawaii (meaning 'delicious'), wahoo are among the fastest fish in the ocean, reaching speeds over 60 mph. Their electric blue bars and torpedo shape make them one of the most visually striking gamefish. Each original is made using the direct method with Sumi ink on real fish, then transferred to handmade Unryu paper. The reproductions capture every scale, fin ray, and contour of the original impression.

Traditional Direct Method

Hwang uses the original Gyotaku technique: Sumi ink applied directly to the fish, then covered with Unryu paper. This produces mirror-image detail that no photograph or painting can replicate.

Archival Reproduction

Printed on archival paper that resists fading and yellowing. These prints hold up for decades when properly framed, unlike posters or standard photo prints.

Two Display Sizes

The 13x19 inch size fits standard frames and works in offices or smaller rooms. The 20x30 inch size makes a bold statement in living rooms, dens, or fishing lodges.

How to Display Your Gyotaku Print

  1. Unroll the print and let it flatten under light weight for 24 hours
  2. Choose a frame with UV-protective glass or acrylic
  3. Use acid-free matting to prevent yellowing
  4. Hang away from direct sunlight for maximum longevity
