This bold and contemporary artwork captures the spirit of traditional gyotaku (Japanese fish printing) in a modern coastal palette. Featuring a detailed white impression of a dolphinfish (mahi-mahi) set against a bright teal background, the piece brings the grace and motion of the ocean into any space. The clean lines and textured effect give it an artistic, almost fossil-like quality—ideal for beach houses, coastal kitchens, or lakefront retreats seeking a fresh yet timeless look. A small kanji character meaning “ocean” subtly anchors the design with maritime authenticity.

Art by FishAye Trading Company.

FishAye Trading uses Gyotaku, a "fish rubbing process," to create much of their artwork. Gyotaku began two thousand years ago in the Orient. It was originally done to document species and sizes of fish. It then transformed into an art form. The Gyotaku technique allows for a truly accurate image of all the details in each fish.

“I use the following method to make the image look as natural as can be. First I mix up paint or ink and then apply it directly on the fish. Next, I simply cover the fish with fine paper or fabric and gently rub." John F. Doherty, Artist and Owner.
