Hand-pressed on the shores of Block Island, this print follows the Chokusetsu-ho tradition—honoring the fish through art before it was shared as a local, sustainable meal.

The natural, long fibers of the paper provide a subtle, organic texture that contrasts beautifully with the sharp, geometric lines of the tuna's finlets and tail fluke. Printed with archival-quality Sumi ink to ensure a deep, matte finish that lasts a lifetime.
