Gyotaku: The ancient Japanese art of printing fish

Title:: Gyotaku: The ancient Japanese art of printing fish
Speaker:: K. Erica Dodge
Description:: How did fishermen record their trophy catches before the invention of photography? In 19th century Japan, fishing boats were equipped with rice paper, sumi-e ink, and brushes in order to create gyotaku: elaborate rubbings of freshly caught fish. K. Erica Dodge recounts the story of this competitive fishing culture, plus some tips on how to make your very own etchings. [Directed by Franco Barroeta, narrated by Michelle Snow].
