A Fishing Tradition
The story takes place in 1862.
Lord Sakai, while fishing with his samurai, caught a sea bream. In Japanese culture, this fish symbolizes happiness.

From December 2nd to January 28th, 2024, Galerie Cinq Dimensions will host a truly unique artist who will leave a lasting impression on art lovers and food enthusiasts alike.
Indeed, Luc Légendre will introduce you to the 'gyotaku' technique.
A former restaurateur, he combines Gyotaku with his knowledge of the product during the transmission of his expertise. It’s a way of raising awareness about respect for the product, and thus for life, in line with a sustainable approach.
What makes this exhibition particularly special is the use of squid ink, after which the fish is consumed.
We invite you to come meet him and discover this culinary artist.
