The Real Fish Rubbing Company

The Real Fish Rubbing Company ~ the home of unique coastal gifts and interior decor And so, the practice of ‘Gyotaku’ began.

Many centuries ago, a Japanese emperor caught a beautiful fish that he wanted to immortalise in some way other than having a painting of it. He wanted an exact and lasting image to admire forever, so one of his artisans suggested taking a rubbing of the fish, which created a beautiful and truly remarkable everlasting image. Since then, generations of Japanese nobility and fisherman have used Gyota

ku to preserve and record images of the beautiful fish found in the waters around their homeland. Today, The Real Fish Rubbing Company has adopted the same technique to bring you a stunning range of individual images lifted from some of Lyme Bay’s most memorable marine life. Using freshly caught fish and shell fish, we gently brush each creature with colour, overlay it with fabric and then gently rub the fabric with our fingertips to create delightful images which can be transferred on to our beautiful coastal gifts and interior decor products.
