Another memory of a prized catch printed by Dr. Michael Lawrence Panlilio using gyotaku technique. Gyotaku is a traditional Japanese art form and method of nature printing that uses real fish, sea creatures, or other natural objects as printing plates to create exact ink impressions on paper.

History and Purpose
Origin: Began in Japan during the mid-19th century (around 1832–1837).
Fishermen's Records: Used originally by commercial fishermen to record the exact size, species, and details of their prized catches before photography existed.
Evolution: Transformed over time from a simple record-keeping tool into a respected fine art form utilizing vibrant colors and detailed backgrounds.
