The Imprint Experience is a living intersection of art, environment, and intention - where each piece is created not just to be seen, but to be felt. Rooted in the ancient practice of Gyotaku and reimagined through a modern, refined lens, every work preserves a moment in time while honoring the beauty, movement, and story of the subject.
Through curated installations and thoughtful collaborations, The Imprint Experience transforms spaces into something more - inviting guests into a sensory encounter that lingers long after they leave.

GYOTAKU WORKSHOP

Join us at Trophy Fish for an immersive introduction to the traditional Japanese art of Gyotaku fish printing with artist Jacelyn Rene.

During this hands-on experience, Jacelyn will guide guests through the process, from preparing the fish and applying the ink to making the final impression, while sharing the history and technique behind the art form.

Each guest will create their own original Gyotaku print to take home, housed in a custom art tube for safekeeping.
