Vintage Japanese Sumi-e ink and wash painting depicting a wild fierce tiger in his true nature by the prominent Master painter and zen priest Jikihara Gyokusei (1904-2005).
This Japanese painting (nihonga) dates from the mid-Japanese Showa period (1926-1989) and was done on a rectangular sheet of stiff Japanese shikishi paper with gold trim at the edges.
The dimension that the artist gives to this work is really powerful, it seems that the tiger will pop out of the painting.
A wonderful candidate for framing and display as a perfect demonstration of the extraordinary power, versatility, and enduring appeal of this deceptively simple mode of painting.
Using only brush-applied black ink on paper this type of painting was introduced into Japan in the 14th century by Zen Buddhist monks visiting from China.
This type of art is particularly representative of Japanese culture which tends towards subtle representations of life and nature.
