This specific product (LBCCT): Gyotaku is an ancient Japanese art form which grew from the need for fishermen to prove the size of their largest catch in a world before photography. Gyo meaning fish, and Taku meaning rubbing or impression is pronounced GEE-OH-TAH-KOO. This very basic printing technique developed over 200 years ago has changed very little over time and is surprisingly simple. Gyotaku involves making a 'rubbing' of the animal by carefully preparing it and then applying ink or paint. A soft, flexible paper or cloth is then used to cover the marine life, making contact in all relief areas. These direct prints offer a painterly approach to the realism of form, with an exact replication of the specimen. Charlotte Morgan has taken the majestic king of the crustaceans, the lobster, as her inspiration.
