The fish caught was cleaned on the outside & positioned as it would appear in life. Oil based inks where mixed & applied to the fish, rice paper would be layed on top of the fish & rubbed with your fingers to transfer the impression on to the paper. The only thing that was painted with a brush was the eye & any distinguished markings. Due to the aesthetic quality of the work, Gyotaku developed into an art form.
