Tiger Tsuitate 衝立, Kawanabe Kyosai 河鍋 暁斎, Japan, 1878

Brooklyn Museum

Provenance: donated by the Estate of Eleanor Z. Wallace

9 x 11 5/16 in. (22.9 x 28.7 cm)

In this print, most likely designed to celebrate the arrival of the Year of the Tiger in 1878, Kyōsai depicts an artist’s studio with all the accoutrements of an accomplished painter, including ink, brushes, and rolls of paper. Kyōsai was celebrated for his depictions of animals, and in this print he showcases his skill with the depiction of a majestic tiger on a painted screen, an image within an image.
