Description

Hawaiian Bonefish (Albula virgata) — called O’io in Hawaiian — are fast-swimming, strong silvery fish that are popular with anglers. Two species occur in Hawaii, one is endemic. This specimen was caught by local Maui fisherman, Aaron.

Original, one-of-a-kind gyotaku. Imprinted in the Chokusetsu-ho method of gyotaku onto Kozo washi paper using sumi ink. The paper measures 17 inches x 39 inches and has a soft deckle edge. Titled and signed in pencil and stamped with my red seal in the lower right corner. It will arrive with a certificate of authenticity.
