Nate and I recently went spearfishing (where I speared my first fish)... and I also got the chance to try my first attempt at Japanese fish printing. I had done this very briefly back in high school (10 years ago) and it was with rubber fish. So... all in all it turned out ok. In the future I need to get better ink and also better cloth... not one of Nate's old white t-shirts! But it was a lot of fun and plan on giving it another shot soon!
