Description
The Blacktail snapper, or “to`au” was introduced to Hawaiian waters in the 1950s for the purpose of sport and the hopes that everyone would enjoy them as a food source. Unfortunately, their population exploded and they are taking over entire reef systems. They are now considered an invasive species. There is no minimum size or limit on to’au and they are great eating! Generally found near rocks, caves and darting around under ledges, the to’au is fast and quite skiddish.
This is a limited edition print created from the original gyotaku titled “To`au (Lutjanus fulvus)“. Each print is matched to the original with meticulous accuracy and created using the finest museum quality archival paper and pigment-based inks, so you can enjoy your artwork for many years to come.
The edges of the paper are deckled, and can be framed either behind a mat or “floated” above a backing to show off the paper’s deckled edge.
Artworks in a limited edition have a set number of prints available. “To`au (Lutjanus fulvus)” comes in a limited edition of only 100 prints.
Each print is signed, numbered, and stamped with my red chop. It will be accompanied with a signed and numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
