Superb  Japanese Hanging Scroll Tiger Painting (Kakejiku). <ZQ24>

A striking Japanese hanging scroll depicting a powerful tiger resting among bamboo. The artist skillfully captures the strength and alert expression of the tiger, with finely rendered fur and dynamic brushwork that brings the animal to life.

In Japanese art, the tiger symbolizes courage, protection, and authority, and tiger paintings were traditionally displayed to ward off evil and bring strength to the household.

The composition leaves generous space above the subject, creating a calm atmosphere that contrasts beautifully with the tiger’s powerful presence. The subtle background and bamboo details enhance the sense of depth and movement.
