Gyotaku—The Japanese art of fish printing—evolved in Japan more than one hundred years ago as a means for fishermen to record and document the size of their catches. Today, fish printing provides an excellent classroom activity to introduce the topic of fish anatomy, as well as an opportunity for teachers to talk about Japanese culture and different printing and painting techniques. The technique reinforces science as a human endeavor, illustrating that anyone can do science; gyotaku was developed by fishermen, not by stereotypic, white-coated scientists in the laboratory. Students see that individuals from many different cultures can practice science as a means of finding solutions to their problems.
