Gyotaku Design Surf Boards



Artist Naoki Hayashi began making Gyotaku prints at age 11. Since then he has refined and mastered his unique

Gyotaku process. Each of Naoki's Gyotaku art works is created using non-toxic acrylic paints and Japanese

shoji paper. Naoki makes his own frames from native Hawaiian solid koa wood. He carefully selects the

koa wood for each piece to complement and enhance the image.

Naoki is an avid diver and fisher. Each of his Gyotaku is a window into the underwater world he sees when

diving in Hawaii's beautiful ocean waters. In each Gyotaku print, he replicates a scene from one of his many dives.

His art features fish in true-life color and in compositions that reflect how they are found in nature.

Naoki has a deep respect for the ocean and its creatures. Thus, he will only create Gyotaku art from fish

that will be eaten. Each of his Gyotaku pieces is both a record of a fish, and a record

of a meal shared with friends and family.

Naoki has a wide selection of original pieces and reproductions available and also creates custom

Gyotaku art. He creates custom furnishings including original artwork, lamps, and shoji screens

for wide variety of interior and exterior designs.
