Yosifu, The Fish of Women, Framed Art Print

❊ Please wait for 10-14 days for mounting before shipping.

Orchid Island (Lanyu) is a beautiful small island off the coast of Taiwan. The Tao tribe who live on this island have always relied on fish for a livelihood. The annual return of flying fish to the island each Spring is believed to be a gift from the Gods, so these fish are greatly respected in this culture. It is believed that there are special ways that each species of fish should be eaten, with particular differences between men and women. The tougher stronger flavoured flesh is regarded as the Fish of Men, while the softer, more tender and sweeter is called the Fish of Women – and it is believed that this should never be mixed up!

While using a simple naïve style with bright vibrant colours, this painting highlights the tenderness and femininity of the women along with their own species of fish, resulting in a very aboriginal women style of art.
