Gyotaku by Naoki

[Glen Tagami]

Here are some photos I took while visiting Naoki Hayashi's Gyotaku studio on Oahu. He is truly an amazing artist and creates some of the most beautiful fish prints and koa wood frames I've ever seen. The (9 ft.) sailfish pressing was purchased by my wife's uncle and I purchased the triptic of the ulua chasing the weke. The only things that rival Naoki's artistic gifts are his knowledge and respect of the ocean and his warm aloha spirit.
