Every Scale Printed from the Actual Fish

Striped bass are arguably the most popular recreational fish in America. From Montauk to the Chesapeake to the Outer Banks, the striper commands a devoted following. This gyotaku print preserves that fish in a way no photograph can. Every scale, every lateral line stripe, every fin ray was printed directly from the actual fish using Sumi ink and Unryu paper.

Dwight Hwang's work hangs in museums and private collections worldwide. These archival reproductions bring that artistry to your wall without the price tag of an original. Frame it under UV-protective glass and the print will look the same decades from now.

Traditional Direct Method

Hwang applies Sumi ink directly to the fish by hand, then presses Unryu paper over it to transfer every natural detail. No digital filters, no artistic embellishment. Just the fish itself, captured with precision through a technique dating back to 1800s Japan.

Two Print Sizes

The 13x19 inch print at $149.99 works well in offices, dens, or as part of a gallery grouping. The 20x30 inch version at $339.99 is a statement piece that shows off the striper's bold lateral stripes and impressive proportions.

Archival Quality Paper

Reproduced on acid-free archival paper that resists fading and yellowing. Frame under UV-protective glass and this print will look the same in 20 years. The paper quality does justice to the detail and subtlety of Hwang's original ink work.

How to Display Your Gyotaku Print

1. Choose a location out of direct sunlight to protect the print from fading

2. Select a simple frame that complements without competing with the artwork

3. Use acid-free matting for a clean border and print protection

4. Frame under UV-protective glass for maximum longevity

5. Hang at eye level in your fishing room, office, or den

6. Consider pairing with other gyotaku prints for a gallery wall
