Description

“Five Pound Tako” is a limited edition, fine art print of the original gyotaku work of art featuring the Hawaiian Day Octopus, one of the most fascinating creatures of the sea. This gyotaku is titled Five Pound Tako to highlight the impressive size of the octopus, which weighed five pounds—a notable size for Hawaii. The title also reflects the local preference for the Japanese word for octopus ‘tako,’ commonly used in the islands.

Printed on heavyweight, textured, 100% cotton fine art paper using archival pigment-based inks, this artwork is designed to last a lifetime. With meticulous accuracy, Lumpkins matches each print to the original to produce a unique and beautiful reproduction of the octopus. Measuring 11 in. x 17 in., the deckled edges of the paper provide an elegant finish that can be framed either behind a mat or “floated” above a backing. This limited-edition print comes signed, numbered, and stamped with Lumpkins’ red seal.

In addition to bringing the beauty of the octopus to your home, your purchase of this limited edition print supports the protection and preservation of Hawaii’s reefs and native fish populations. A portion of the proceeds from each sale is donated to local non-profit organizations working to restore and maintain healthy ecosystems.
