This striking Japanese hanging scroll depicts a powerful tiger standing on rocky terrain beneath a crescent moon. The tiger, a symbol of strength, courage, and protection in East Asian art, is rendered with dynamic brushwork and intense expression, conveying both movement and tension. The crescent moon enhances the dramatic atmosphere, suggesting vigilance and spiritual power. The work is attributed to Tetsugen, active from the Taisho to early Showa period, when traditional Japanese painting styles were maintained while incorporating bolder compositions. Painted meticulously on silk, the piece demonstrates confident ink lines, layered coloring, and strong visual impact. This scroll would appeal to collectors of animal paintings, tiger imagery, or symbolic Japanese artworks.
