Japanese Zodiac Yellow Tiger Beko (tora beko or Tiger Folk Toy) Shikishi painted. Shikishi is paper painting pasted onto a board. These are made and purchased as greetings and gifts. The yellow tiger's small head bobs while he's roaring. Note his red ears, collar, and mouth. The rest is yellow, white, and black (for stripes). It is a charming work that is signed by the artist.
