Celestial Tiger Fine Art Print by PRIMITIVE PRESS | Limited Edition: Tánlì Ren - Resilient Strength

Tiger bounds downward through gold-washed air, claws out and eyes wide.

This is a Celestial Tiger fine art print based on Katayama Yokoku. It is archival pigment & paper. Katayama Yokoku was a Japanese painter of the Edo period, an era when tigers were drawn from tradition and from imported images, since the animal does not live in Japan. Small painting with a rich gold and olive ground, showing a striped cat pitched head first with paws spread. Dark stripes crowd the body, and the face is pale with startled circles around the eyes. A dark burled frame and white mat surround it. It is 15.5 inches wide and 18.5 high.

The leap has the confidence of an animal that never checks the landing.
