EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent six-fold screen depicting a roaring tiger. Created between 1749 and 1838 by the renowned artist Ganku Kishi, this artwork is an exquisite example of ink, light color, and gold on paper. The piece measures an impressive 170.1x376.6x1.7 cm and is currently housed in the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford in the UK. The screen emanates power and strength as it captures the essence of a wild Bengal tiger in its natural habitat. The intricate details of the tiger's fur, rendered with delicate brushstrokes, bring forth a sense of realism that is truly awe-inspiring. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we are transported to Asia, specifically Japan, where it was created during the early 18th century. The vibrant colors and skillful technique employed by Kishi highlight his mastery as an artist within the Kishi School. The absence of human presence allows us to fully appreciate nature's untamed beauty showcased on this screen. It serves as both a work of art and a piece of furniture that would undoubtedly enhance any space with its striking depiction. Whether one admires it for its artistic merit or simply marvels at its portrayal of wildlife, this six-fold screen depicting a roaring tiger remains an enduring symbol of majesty and grace captured through paintbrush strokes centuries ago.
