Kano Tanyu (attributed) "Tigers in Bamboo Grove"

Inspired by the wall painting Tigers in Bamboo Grove in the main hall of the Hojo at Nanzenji Temple,Nishijin artisans transformed a scene into a breathtaking hanging scroll. A powerful tiger emerges from a lush bamboo forest, its gaze intensely fixed ahead, embodying a graceful strength. The dynamic composition, paired with the vivid green bamboo and the tiger's sleek, lustrous coat, is expertly woven to bring the scene to life, creating the illusion of a majestic tiger. This hanging scroll adds a touch of majesty to any interior space.

With the refined texture of silk and accents of pure gold leaf, this piece imparts both a commanding presence and an air of elegant nobility to any room. The gold leaf enhances the movement within the scene, illuminating the tiger’s form and the bamboo leaves, while the luxurious textile texture adds a sophisticated finish. This work is a statement of awe and vitality, blending sheer presence with an understated elegance that makes it as noble as it is captivating.
