The Story of Iko Prints

In 2023 I got invited to do a fish printing seminar at Daytona Elementary. While leading a classroom of 2rd graders, I realized I needed to share this quiet kept hobby of mine with the world. They loved it and were asking me if I had more paper for them to take home.

I worked for over a year sourcing the right materials from Japan. This is where fish printing originated, and I wanted to honor that with the right materials. It costs more to get the right ink, paper, and brushes, but I wouldn't do it any other way.

What Does Iko Mean?

In Japan "Iko Iko!" is an expression similar to "Let's go!" in English. Hence, our name means "Let's go Print!"
