This striking hanging scroll depicts a tiger in motion, rendered with bold, expressive brushwork in monochrome ink. The dynamic posture of the tiger, advancing through tall grasses, conveys power, tension, and alertness—qualities traditionally associated with this revered animal in East Asian art. The composition is intentionally restrained, using minimal background detail to focus attention on the tiger’s muscular form and piercing gaze. Subtle variations in ink density create depth and texture, demonstrating the artist’s confident control of the brush. The overall effect is both vigorous and elegant, reflecting the aesthetics of late Edo to early Meiji ink painting. In Japanese culture, the tiger symbolizes strength, protection, and authority, and works of this kind were often appreciated as auspicious images, suitable for display in a study or reception room. This scroll represents a fine example of transitional-period ink painting, bridging classical traditions and emerging modern sensibilities.
