Tiger

Description

The poet and painter Jujoen here created an imitation of a hanging scroll and silk mounting with a depiction of a tiger, all within the vertical format of the print. The inscriptions indicate that it is a New Year’s print from the year of the tiger. Issen not only contributed the image of the tiger, he also wrote one of the poems on this print.
